Re: Finger daemons in Debian should use a virtual package
If seems to me that what is wanted here is a "superfinger" daemon, a sort
of mini-inetd. It would accept the connection from inetd, make a decision
based upon some set of system or per-user configuration files as to which
finger daemon should be spawned, and then hand the connection to the
appropriate finger daemon.
This seems like a bit of work, honestly. Finger daemons are easy to
write, so they have often provided egregious security vulnerabilities.
Given that history, I am not sure this is such a good idea, anyway.
