I was noticing that (1) "finger" shows the source IP addrs of people logged in and (2) "last" also shows the source IP addrs of people that have logged in. Do you have any plans to disable these to decrease the amount of information displayed? Although I trust you guys, I don't know about trusting the other users on the system not to track me down. (I am considering putting up some web pages which many religious zealots could get very angry about and will stop at nothing to track me down. If I cannot be guaranteed complete privacy, this trial of this shell account may not work out.)
