Hello all,
Here is what I am trying to do. If a user exist, then send an echo "EXIST" or else "DOES NOT EXIST". (under HP-UX)
Kind of:
#!/usr/bin/sh
USER=mylogin
finger $USER
if $? = 0
then
echo "EXIST""
else
echo "DOES NOT EXIST"

Hi All,
I want to disable telnet on the startup of solaris 8-10 but still wants for a standby purposes. In case I need to troubleshoot ssh, I can connect thru telnet.
Most solution on the internet is to permanently removed it.

On Solaris 8 is there anyway to disable telnet for a particular user and not for entire system altogether?
I would like the user to retain a shell and so creating a noshell like ftp account is not an option. (14 Replies)
I need to change the security on our AIX servers and disable telnet from all but certain IP addresses.
I have hashed the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf and added filter rules for those IP adds to allow access on port 23, but this didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks. (2 Replies)
I have a bunch of Solaris systems and for the 8/9 systems, I can type "finger -s 2" to get a list of all users (whether they are logged in or not) and the last time they logged in. I have some new 10 systems and this command does not work. Does anybody know whether this was changed in Solaris 10?... (6 Replies)
I have been instructed to disable the finger service for our Solaris 10 box. However when I input #svcadm disable finger I receive: "svcadm: Pattern 'finger' does not match any instances.

fingerd - remote user information server
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
is the server for the RFC 742 Name/Finger protocol. It provides a network interface to which gives a status report of users currently
logged in on the system or a detailed report about a specific user (see finger(1)). The Internet daemon executes when it receives a ser-
vice request at the port listed in the services data base for ``finger'' using ``tcp'' protocol; see inetd(1M) and services(4).
To start from the configuration file must contain an entry as follows:
Once a remote host is connected, reads a single ``command line'' terminated by a carriage-return and line-feed. It uses this command line
as the arguments to an invocation of sends the output of to the remote host and closes the connection.
If the command line is null (contains only a carriage-return and line-feed pair), returns a report that lists all users logged in on the
system at that moment.
If a user name is specified on the command line (for example, user<CR><LF>), the response lists more extended information for only that
particular user, whether logged in or not. See finger(1) for the details of this extended information.
If is run with the option, it allows remote user names on the command line (for example, user@host<CR><LF>). Otherwise, if the command
line contains a remote user name, prints the error message and closes the connection.
