fingerd

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
