>Description:

pidentd doesn't work correctly for finger since it will only sh
ow the username nobody@ instead of root@ when it's performed by the root user.
pidentd works fine for root for all other protocols.  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.  This problem only appears
 in -CURRENT and 3.3-RELEASE as well as 3.3-STABLE.
