- Hi Linuxers,
-
- OKAY! This is an Easy question:
-
- Has anyone got finger to work from other machine to the Linux host? eg,
- finger @thishost, where "thishost" is a 486DX33 8Mb, running 0.99pl2.
-
- All I get back is:
-
- [thishost.linux.net]
-
-
- The same thing happens if I do a "telnet thishost 79".
-
- Oh, and I'm running most of the latest SLS binaries.
-
-
- I would REALLY like to know what the matter is.
- Furthermore I can't get talk to work "Destination machine does not recognise
- us", or something like that.
-
- Telnet, and FTP work almost perfectly. (Okay, Telnet expects ^J for a line
- to be accepted, but most hosts I have used that have telnet send ^M.
- Similarly for ^? and ^H ).
-
-
- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Reply (via email PLEASE to "cjw1@ukc.ac.uk". The host
- is down at the moment which explains why I am using a Bulletin Board).
-
-
- Chris
