Fingering anyone at winternet is broken, but only if you are at an remote 
site.  Fingering someone at winternet from winternet works.

Is there something that *hasn't* been broken yet?
List of things that has been/is broken:
- routing
- news
- mail
- usermachines crashing/powercycled
- fingerd not working properly
- irc server not connected to efnet
- HD's full (/tmp, /usr, /)
- Tundra out of memory and swap
- Authorization not working (server down)
- ppp not working (authorization server down?)
- alternet T1 not being used (routing)
- web server down

This is one impressive list and I'm sure I forgot something.  What is 
left to break? :)
