Um, good point. I guess "finger:bill" being sent from a PC on a SLIP
connection doesn't mean much. :-)

Unless I'm misunderstanding section 2.4 of RFC 1288, the finger client
shouldn't strip anything. It looks to me that none of the "@hostn" are
local to where the client sent the request from, and thus shouldn't be
stripped.
