For those who don't want to run cfingerd, sfingerd may be better suited.

This is safe fingerd. User directories aren't looked at directly, if a
user wants to be listed, their details go into a sfingerd directory.

This gets around the privacy issues associated with finger daemons in
many countries - only those who want to be found will be found.
