ffingerd problem - solved.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

 After emailling the author of ffingerd, it turns out to have been a
problem with permissions of the various files:

 /home/user has to be world executable

 ~/.plan ~/.pubkey and so on must be world readable.

 That done, I now have a working replacement for fingerd that doesn`t do
silly things.

 I`m still in the dark about the auth/tcp message.

 I`ve restarted indent (which wasn`t running, but did have an pid file),
and restarted portsentry, and it hasn`t reoccurred. MMmmm.

 Baz.
