I don't know what's happenning with my finger daemon, It's not serving 
outside requests for example:

flop 49 /nfs/flop/u4/r/reed% finger reed@reedb.rhn.orst.edu
[reedb.rhn.orst.edu] 
flop 50 /nfs/flop/u4/r/reed%

and this shows up in xconsole:
Jan 27 14:11:13 reedb inetd[2549]: getpwnam: nobody: No such user
each time someone tries to finger someone on my machine.

Within the system it works fine though. It's just something with outside 
requests.

Any ideas?
