New Users and a Quick Update on the Republic

The Republic had four new user requests this week (three of them
yesterday and today), as I set them up you'll see their gopher holes
come online. Lntl was the first, and he has already started updating
his phlog [0]. The others will be linked from the Republic's gopher
homepage in the next few days. Welcome all!

Solderpunk and I have also worked on getting finger servers
configured on Zaibatsu and Republic.  FreeBSD's finger daemon is a
bit more secure as far as providing the ability to hide login
database info (particularly the remote IP address of a user), so
I've opened up finger requests from SDF, grex and tilde.team. I can
open up access from other pubnixes by request.
