COMMAND

    finger

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    IRIX 6.3, 6.4

PROBLEM

    Matthew Potter  posted following.   This bug  is pretty  damn old.
    Why hasnt SGI fixed this yet?  For more fun....

        finger -l @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@target@bounce_host

    Do  a  @  about  500  times.   The  target  machines  load goes up
    signifigantly. This isn't anything exciting and new just something
    SGI needs to fix.

SOLUTION

    This  is  rather  old  stuff,  but  somehow still present on IRIX.
    Applying some free distribution of fingerd should do it.
