| Here's another feature we'd like to see: allowing fingering specific | people, but not a generic finger of a machine, which could be used to | learn login ids. Which of the fingerds you looked at had that feature? rfingerd could be made to do that with a little input filtering. Its perl, so the input filter should be pretty simple--if anyone writes one, please pass it on to me. No need to reinvent the wheel. :) fingerd-1.0 has the ability built in. sfinger provides it by only allowing certain finger targets, defined by the existance of a file in its directory (which is the output of finger.) Both rfingerd & fingerd-1.0 call /usr/ucb finger. If you replace that with gnu finger, gnu finger allows you to define arbitrary actions, including a 'default' target if no argument is given. If this default target is site info, you get the effect of not allowing 'generic' fingers. Also, don't forget to turn off rusers. :) Adam
