Yup, that's just a standard finger server. 

For the original poster, here's my code that seems to work ok:

if (buf[0] == '3' && strstr(buf, "\terror.host")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "Error: ")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "does not exist")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "doesn't exist")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "could not be found")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "No such file or directory")) type = TYPE_ERROR;
if (strstr(buf, "file not found")) type = TYPE_ERROR;

Of course you can *cough* finger me *cough cough*. I'm male, btw, hope that didn't ruin your day :-D.

Anyway, my finger service seems to work for me? Telnet to port 79 and type "kim" + enter and you should get a reply back.
