*  fkey is a finger-like daemon for accessing remote files *
*  in a specified directory.  there is no limitations      *
*  placed on the file acessing other than it must be a     *
*  filename/path equal to 10 or less bytes.  this limits   *
*  the remote possibilities somewhat, but symlinking to a  *
*  short path(ie. /tmp/file) locally can access anything.  *
*  (this exploits locally)                                 *
*                                                          *
* note:                                                    *
*  this is pretty low-risk due to the fact that the        *
*  program isn't very common, just browsing freshmeat.net  *
*  and killing some time.                                  *
