 The CFINGERD Configurator
 Version 1.44 by Ken Hollis

 Released under the GPL as part of the Administrative/Security Package.
 Please read "README" and "README.quickstart" for more details.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The Configurator works in two ways:

 1) A shell-based, TEXT based configuration script in which you can enable
    or disable options as you choose.
 2) A dialog-based configuration script the same way.

 Options can be obtained by typing "Configure help" or by using these 
 options  (An ASTERISK (or "*") means this is only available to root):

 make	- Creates the makefile according to the pre-programmed standards.
	  At this point, you can type "make" to create the program and
	  do everything for you, and you can also have the liberty to
	  change options as you see fit.
*auto	- Same as above, but automatically does a "make" for you.  (This
	  is for you lazy hackers.  :)
*inetd	- Does a check on inetd.conf for you to make sure that finger is
	  running as ROOT (which is a REQUIREMENT for this daemon.)
*group	- Does a check to make sure that you have a "nobody" user entry
	  in your passwd file.  If you don't, it defaults to the standard
	  of UID 32767, and GID 32766.
*tests	- Does a check on both inetd and group.
 comp	- Does a compilation of cfingerd to make sure that it smoothly
	  compiles on your machine.
 clean	- Does a clean on your directories the same way a Makefile would.
 mhelp	- Gives you a listing of the help that the Makefile file provides.

 Remember that inetd.conf must have an entry of finger running as ROOT.  If
 you don't have it running as root, this script will automatically make the
 change for you and keep a backup of the old one within the same file.

 This Configuration program was written with Perl 5.000 and is compatible
 with Perl 4.036.  If you don't have Perl, you need to get it, as the
 Configure script will NOT work with standard shell.  Besides, Perl is more
 portable.
