missing/non-functional identd service?
Hi there.
I've been learning about PGP, and was in the process of taking a look at a
few public keys, when I ran into a small stumbling block. You see, I was
fingering bruce@master.debian.org when I ran into a small obstacle:
tcsh> finger bruce@master.debian.org

Since my system is also Debian (why else would I be sending this to deb
user?), I decided to try it against my system from a machine which I knew
suffers from a lack of identd:

Is this a configuration error I need to fix, a package I haven't
installed, or something else? It would seem best if Debian systems could
at least finger Debian systems, right?
Thanks in advance for the help,
--Pete
