Great! This solved the "problem", but I guess the problem lies with the
Linux box I was trying to finger. I've just set the finger environment
variable to -T, because the majority of hosts I would finger around the
office aren't FreeBSD boxes.
I guess I should have tried the man page first - it does say it quite
clearly :-(
"-T Disable the use of T/TCP (see ttcp(4)). This option is needed to
finger hosts with a broken TCP implementation."
Thanks for all the comments, guys. Now I know why I run FreeBSD - because
of the great help :-)
