From: Marshall Rose <mrose@uci-750a>
I have an implementation of a server for 4.2BSD UNIX which
implements the following "little" protocols:
echo, sink, daytime, time, users, chargen, qotd, and finger
It runs as a single daemon which listens on these ports (either TCP
or UDP). You can specify which of these services you want to
offer, so you don't have to use all of them if you don't want to.
There's also a "whois" client (user-level) program for 4.2BSD UNIX.
If you're interested, the source is available on UCI-750b
(192.5.19.2) in the directory pub/inet. Use anonymous ftp. Total
size is 59KB.

ps: the finger server calls a program like Chris Kent's "fing"
program, it doesn't actually finger anyone itself. I hear that
Chris will have a 4.2 version of "fing" available in a couple of
days or so. Ask <cak@purdue> for more details...
