(see if the finger port is being lisened to, and what is listening)
ls -l /usr/sbin/in.fingerd
(see if the finger daemon is on the system)
grep finger /var/log/messages
(see if anything has mentioned finger in the logs)
if you see inetd listening to port 79, you see that /usr/sbin/in.fingerd
exists and you don't see finger in the logs, then as a last resort you
could do this:
strace -o /tmp/argh -f <pid of inetd>
then try to finger and then stop the strace. read over the trace to
see where it failed.
