You would do well to consult the documentation at http://www.freebsd.org on
how to get the best results when posting a question so people can better
help you.
Specifically,
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html

If you are using a recent version of FreeBSD e.g. 3.3 and above, then edit
the file /etc/hosts.allow. If its a really old version, see
/usr/local/etc/hosts.allow

fingerd: host.aaa.bbb.edu: deny
fingerd: ALL allow

Also, you can get answers to questions like the one you asked at
http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml
Enter in *freebsd* in the forums section, and enter in the key words you
are looking for. You will find answers to almost any question there.
