fingerd(8) System Manager's Manual fingerd(8)
NAME
fingerd - The user information server for networks
SYNOPSIS
fingerd [-s]
The fingerd program allows users to get information about remote systems or users when they execute; for example, finger user@host.
FLAGS
Turns on socket level debugging.
DESCRIPTION
The fingerd program is a protocol that provides an interface to the finger(1) command. By default, the fingerd program is disabled. To
enable it, edit the /etc/inetd.conf file, uncomment the line containing the finger service name, and restart Internet services by issuing
the /usr/sbin/rcinet restart command.
After it is enabled, the fingerd program is invoked by inetd(8), which listens for finger requests at port 79. When it receives control,
fingerd reads a single command line, terminated by a newline, and passes it to the finger command, which generates a report. The fingerd
program closes its port connection when output from finger is finished.
FILES
Specifies the command path User database who file Plans for requested user Projects for requested user whois command who command
