It seems like pidentd for the finger service works for non-root users. This problem only appears in -CURRENT and 3.3-RELEASE as well as 3.3-STABLE. >How-To-Repeat: finger @localhost as both a normal user and root. tcpd will need to call up banners which has the string [%u@%h] which should resolve the user@FQDM from a pidentd installed machine. >Fix: No idea about this one >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: for the finger service works for non-root users.
