- Winsock Finger Daemon Version 1.3
-
- by
-
- Tidewater Systems, Copyright (c) 1994
-
-
-
- wsfngrd is a shareware winsock finger daemon for Microsoft Windows
- v3.11. It was developed in C and is based on my interpretation of
- RFC1288. Some of the code in wsfngrd is based on source code
- published in 'Unix Network Programming' by W. Richard Stevens, and
- 'Programming Windows 3.1' by Charles Petzold.
-
- Developers Ian Blenke and John A. Junod are also to be thanked for
- making their source code available, as it is an invaluable resource
- when trying to figure how things work in Windows.
-
- This is a shareware product, and as such you are free to use and
- evaluate the program for 30 days. At the end of the evaluation period,
- you are requested to register the product or remove it from your system.
- Please see register.frm or the register topic in the help file for
- more details. This archive may not be distributed in any commercial
- product without the express permission of Tidewater Systems.

-
- File List:
-
- wfngrd13.zip should have the following:
-
- wsfngrd.exe
- wsfngrd.hlp
- idle.dll
- fixini.exe
- wsfngrd.txt
- register.frm
- license.txt
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy wsfngrd.exe, wsfngrd.hlp and idle.dll to a sub directory of
- your choice. Using program manager, create a new program item in
- a group of your choice.
-
- ** Note: If you are upgrading from v1.1 or v1.0 you should
- run fixini before running wsfngrd v1.3 the first time.
- The ini files are not compatible. Fixini will read your
- old ini file and create a new one using the old information.
-
- Usage:
-
- The first time you run wsfngrd, an ini file (wsfngrd.ini) will be
- created in your windows directory. A dialog box will be presented for
- you to fill in the information returned when your machine is fingered.
-
- Hiding the Icon: to hide the WSFNGRD icon, and 'h' to the command
- line field of the wsfngrd property. When running
- wsfngrd in the 'hidden' mode, it will not be
- listed in the windows task list. It will be,
- in effect, resident until you end the windows
- session.
-
- Setup:
-
- Server Mode: Single User or Multi-User. In single user
- mode, all finger requests are serviced with information
- about the 'default user'. In multi-user mode, each
- finger request is parsed and if there is a username
- match, then information about that user is returned.
-
- Plan File Directory: Type in the full path for a directory
- that ALL plan files will be kept. This provides support
- for multiple users and maintains security. (ie. c:\planfile)
-
- Log File: Type in the full path and filename of the file
- you want finger requests logged too. (ie. c:\temp\finger.log)
- This file is made up of single line entries. A entry is
- added for every finger request received. Eash entry has
- the following information: Date (in local format), Time,
- the requesting machines Hostname or IP address and the user
- that was fingered.
-
- Default Plan: Type in the name of a 'default' plan file to
- return in response to finger request with no data when
- in multi-user mode. If left blank, the following message
- will be returned:
-
- ** specify user+@<hostname>
-
- Default User: This is a list of users defined by you. The
- 'user' selected here is used in single user mode. It can
- be ignored if operating in multi-user mode. This list will
- be empty until at least on user is defined.
-
- Log Finger Requests: Toggle logging on/off.
-
- Return Idle Time: Toggle Idle on/off.
-
-
- Adding Users:
-
- Fill in the field under User Setup: Username (required),
- Full Name, Email, Phone, Plan. Click the Add button
- to commit user information to Disk.
-
- All fields, with the exception of Username, can be left
- blank. If a field is left blank, it will not be returned
- when a finger query is serviced.
-
- Changing a User:
-
- Select the user from the Username list, update the users
- information and click the Change button. If you change the
- user name, WSFNGRD will not be aware of it and actually
- create another user with the new username. You'll then
- have to delete the 'old' username.
-
- Deleteing a User:
-
- Select the user from the Username list. Click on the
- Delete button.
-
- Limitations:
-
- wsfngrd will service only one finger request at a time.
- Idle time will reset if idle for more then 49 days.
