The finger daemon runs as user nobody and as such it must be publically
accessable.  Make your home directory chmod'd 711 and your .plan 644 -
should work fine - ie:

drwx--x--x  23 karl staff2048 Mar 31 19:31 /home/karl

-rw-r--r--   1 karl staff 364 Aug  4  1996 /home/karl/.plan

finger from remote site will not list .plan

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

At the moment remote users who finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] are
told that I have no plan. However if I finger telmerco while logged onto
terrapin, I get to see my .plan (pgp key). I recall fiddling with cfingerd
and noticing that you could restrict remote users but cannot find any
documentation on allowing remote users with netstd's fingerd. Any ideas?

Cheers, Colin.
