I was just wondering with all this finger hassle that's been going on, 
isn't there a way that an admin can figure out who is the actual user who 
actually fingered the attacked host? Isn't there some sort of identifying 
daemon that would get the name of the guy that fingered the attacked host?
I thought I saw an RFC on something like this, or am I wrong? 
Tnx for any replies to this one...


yea it is called identd, I have modified my rlogin, telnet, ftpd & popper
servers to do identd queries on all connections.
