I know many programs which try to make sense out of finger output. (I don't want to debate which is more broken). Maybe instead you could fix it from the "other" end, make the finger _client_ have a switch that would contact the remote host's "daytime" port.. same effect, I think, less intrusive? Please ignore my babbling, I've been sick the last few days and literally climbing the walls.. ;-) ... JG
