inet runs a program called fingerd, not finger.  fingerd just reads 
stdin and takes the first line of it, passes that as an argument to finger,
and exits when finger is done.  inetd handles redirecting the socket as
stdin/stdout for fingerd.

You can get source code for all of bsd from a number of sites.  Look around
on ftp.uu.net for the BSD Net/2 source, or freebsd.cdrom.com in 
/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/libexec/fingerd for the fingerd source
from FreeBSD (which is he same as the fingerd source in Net/2).
