 :  nevite jak moc nebezpecne je pouzivat na serveru sluzbu finger? 

Co to znamena "nebezpecne" ?
Pokial fingerd bezi ako ne-root s obmedzenymi resourcami, nevidim 
sposob preco by to malo byt nebezpecne

 :  Existuje nejaka obdoba tohoto prikazu, kdy by komunikace probihala sifrovane?

ssh server finger ? :-)

podstata fingeru spociva v publikovani informacii verejnosti,
nevidim velky vyznam v kryptovani...
sniffer moze predsa server fingernut a ma tu istu informaciu

mozno by sa dal pouzit stunnel, ale potom by bolo treba napisat
clienta s podporou ssl, a zatial asi nikto nevidel v tom vyznam
