: can anybody tell me why finger is so slow under FreeBSD:
Try typing this: finger -m whoever@wherever
Because my provider didn't compile the finger daemon right, it searches
through every single user in the passwd (or wherever). -m does something
so that it jumps right to the user you specify. This might not work,
however...just a suggestion. :)
