Lynx 2.6 is the "latest" for UNIX and they "got" mine. However, someone suggesed that it may have been done through finger as well, and since my ocmputer is a UNIX box...the people using UNIX shells are gonna get nailed too...
Couple of things you can do:
1. Comment out "fingerd" in /etc/inetd.conf and refresh 2. Install a more secure "fingerd" such that it only allows "finger `userid@node.domain`" instead of "finger `@node.domain`".
While I've seen #2 in action, I don't know where to go to snarf it. I just use #1.
Anyone know where to 'snarf it'?

cfingerd can be gotten from: ftp.bitgate.com/pub/cfingerd/pub/cfingerd -or- sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Network/finger There are a couple of other fingerd's in the sunsite directory. Cfinger seemed to be the best last time I was looking for a fingerd.
