I have a question about additional arguments that need to be passed
to certain daemons that are started from inetd.  For something such
as fingerd, how does the user argument get passed to it?
Does it try and read a line of text from the socket containing args?
when you finger user@host.domain, does your finger pass
'user\n' down the socket?  if that is the case, then does it pass
'\n' down if you 'finger !host.domain'
I've tried looking in a few books, and the man pages, but they didn't
have quite what I was looking for.  Thanks for any tips.
(woops , 3 lines up should read @host.domain)
