<h3>Configurable Finger Daemon</h3>

<p>Cfingerd is a free and secure finger daemon replacement for
standard finger daemons such as GNU fingerd or MIT fingerd.  It can
enable/disable finger service to individual users, rather than to all
users on a given host. Cfingerd is able to respond to a finger request
to a specified user by running a shell script (e.g., finger
doorbell@mysite.mydomain might cause a sound file to be sent) rather
than just a plain text file.

<h3>Features</h3>

<ul>
<li> Highly configurable
<li> Distinction between local (trusted) and remote hosts
<li> Run scripts through files as nobody or as user
<li> Parse user files for variables and commands
<li> Hide users
<li> Search for strings in the passwd file
<li> Open user files as user (thus work with NFS)
<li> Log finger actions in user's logfiles
<li> Reject hosts according to config file
<li> Support fake users, run scripts for certain accounts
<li> Support for banner/footer
<li> Freely configurable response strings
</ul>
