It seems finger is setup to expose a lot of excessive details about the user such as their IP address. It would probably be wise to hide that information.

Looking in to this. Haven't found much info yet on how to config it show less information. Still researching.

There's some info on the Wiki about this: https://wiki.synchro.net/service:finger
They don't seem to explain anything, but they list all of the stuff you can configure.

I suppose "NO_HOST_LOOKUP" would be one, also for UDP. Any others that you can think of?

I think that's the biggest one, the others are down to personal taste like the real name.

Its should be active. Maybe you can check it.

Hmm, It seems to not have updated yet. I will try in a bit to give it time. If you aren't running Linux, you should have finger preinstalled if you want to check for yourself.
