    There were patches for 2.X=3,4,5 that stoped the bouncing of finger. Most
    unixes have gotten rid of the "bounce" feature, So what if it's been in
    fingerd forever, it's not a good thing, then again fingerd gives away too
    much info. But you can use this to get info about parts of the network you
    shouldnt normally see.
