- My setup:
-
- Sun SparcStation IPC, SunOS 4.1.3
- GNU Finger 1.37
- default build & make (no args to ./configure)
- no problems during compilation or installation
-
- My problem:
-
- As far as I can tell everything works just peachy. Inetd is configured
- ok, fingerd polls every 120 seconds, the client works fine. There's
- just one thing: "finger @host" doesn't work:
-
- % finger @draconis
- [draconis.cp.tn.tudelft.nl]
- No one logged in on client machines.
- %
-
- However:
-
- % finger .local
- User Real Name What Idle TTY Host Console Location
- cpadmin CP System Administ 0:15 p3 draconis (cygnus:0.0)
- gabri Gabri van der Maar p4 draconis (:0.0)
- gabri Gabri van der Maar 0:03 p5 draconis (:0.0)
- leo Leo Breebaart p1 draconis (cygnus:0.0)
- %
-
- If I try to finger a remote host (e.g. gnu.ai.mit.edu), it works ok,
- so I guess the problem must be with my finger server somehow, right?
-
- I'm rather new to the business of mucking around with inetd's and services
- files, so I suspect I've made some silly mistake. Does anybody out there
- have a clue as to what is going on?
