obPatheticHack: writing a finger daemon that:
1. logs all finger requests, with who was fingered, and from where
2. returns a snotty message if the request is a "finger @mysitename"
3. returns a REALLY snotty message if it's "finger Root@mysitename"
4. does a normal finger if they're fingering a specific user
