From 91747680359420aafcf69a4d6a2199f6cbd9e4ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: charnier Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2002 13:02:13 +0000 Subject: Correct wrong grammar from previous commit. Note that fingerd is not limited to being an interface to finger(1), see -p flag. Remove a reference to name(?) program we don't have.
