Hi.

I've noticed a oddity on some FreeBSD 2.2 and 3.0-current machines. If I
finger a user on a public host of ours, I just get the hostname in square
brackets i.e. [servername.somewhere.org] and nothing else.

If I try it from a Solaris box or a Linux box on the same network, with
nothing more (or less) special on the public machine's hosts.allow, it
displays the relevant information.

Any ideas ?
