I want to know the correct version of how i should use the finger command in this example below.(os is debian lenny)

(nymserver.pl is located in /home/nymserv directory.)

the two versions are :

(in/etc/inetd.conf)
finger stream tcp nowait nymuser /usr/nym/nymserv nymserv -fingerd

----and
(in rc local script)
finger stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /home/nymuser nymuser /usr/nym/nymserv -fingerd
