This application need to bind to port 79 which normally requires root access. You can get round this by running the following command

$ sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip fingerd

This will grant the fingerd binary the ability to open port 79 as a normal user

$ ./fingerd

Docker

$ docker build . -t fingerd

$ docker run -d -v /path/to/plans:/root/plans -p 79:79 fingerd
