I noticed that finger has a way for you to include your public key.  So
I am wondering what everyone thinks about the security of finger?  I am
thinking of opening my home linux box so people can finger my account to
get the info, and any other info I include.

Their are no ports open on my firewall except ssh to my local Linux box.
~ And that is only open to certificates, so password cracking is not a
possibility.

Any ideas on the security of this?
