- Hi.
-
- I have two questions about finger which don't appear to be in the man-pages.
-
- 1. Is there a way to use "finger -s" outside of your own site? For
- example, every time I use an "@"-clause, it ignores my "-s"
- argument.
-
- 2. When fingering multiple people at an external host, is there a
- way to only open the connection once? For example, if i wanted
- to "finger dan@white.house bush@white.house millie@white.house",
- it (at least my computer) will establish the White House connection
- three times.
-
- Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance
