I have this crazy idea that you could rewrite finger/fingerd in rust, and perhaps jail it for extra peace of mind and revive the service with some new, modern, even dare-I-say futuristic features. Haven’t spent any time on it this year but you just reminded me.

Not a crazy idea at all that sounds super fun! It would be much safer to write a server taking untrusted input from the network in Rust.

If you have any good ideas for interesting and fun features let me know, should be enough contact info in profile here!
