README
Building:
    Install Maven 2 from http://maven.apache.org/

    run
        $ mvn assembly:assembly

    This will create target/mxfingerd-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar


Running:
    As root (bad idea, but hey!)
        $ sudo java -jar target/mxfingerd-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar

    As non-root
        $ java -jar target/mxfingerd-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar

    When run as root it will bind to port 79
    When run as non root it will bind to 7979
        You will need to forward port 7979 to 79 for finger client

Queries, if daemon is running on the server "bang", look like:

-- list all mbeans on javathing.com 
$ finger @javathing.com@mxfingerdhost.com

-- all attributes on the org.skife.wombat:name=FuzzyThing mbean on javathing.com
$ finger org.skife.wombat:name=FuzzyThing@javathing.com@mxfingerdhost.com

-- ResponseCacheEnabled attribute on the org.skife.wombat:name=FuzzyThing
-- mbean on javathing.com
$ finger org.skife.wombat:name=FuzzyThing#ResponseCacheEnabled@javathing.com@mxfingerdhost.com

If no port is specified on javathing.com it will try to connect to 8989, 
alternately you can specify a port, a la

$ finger @javathing.com:3000@mxfingerdhost.com

There is nothing for auth at this point.
