isn't there a way that an admin can figure out who is the actual user who actually fingered the attacked host? Isn't there some sort of identifying daemon that would get the name of the guy that fingered the attacked host?
Well they could use 'ident', but that can't be trusted of course. I think if you come up with a way of positively identifying the originating username of a finger (or other tcp/ip request), you'll be both rich and famous:) -- These are my opinions and not those of this university.
