Purpose:

    This utility offers an alternate to the finger suppllied with CNet/4.

Requirments:

    A TCP stack (AmiTCP or Miami preferrable)
    CNet/4 (any version after 4.20)

Features:

    Simple to install and configure.
    Capable of displaying a user's data in the same manner as CNet's internal
      FInger command (with an additional section for if they have new email).
    Will return a who, similar to a normal CNet who when fingered as either
      "who@your.site.com" or just as "@your.site.com"
    If there is a file named the same as the finger query in SysText:fingerd
      it will display that instead of a user finger reply.

Installation:

    Installation of fingerd is simple.  Just copy the executable someplace on
your hard drive (AmiTCP:serv/ or Miami:serv/ are good spots, as well as
possibly either a CNet:INet/ directory, or in the
CNet:Doors/Internet_Support/ directory).  Then add the following line to
AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf, or to Miami's Database/Inetd with <PATH> set to the
path and filename of where you installed fingerd.

-- CUT --
finger stream tcp nowait root <PATH>/fingerd fingerd
-- CUT --

    Next add the following line to AmiTCP:db/services or Miami's
Database/Services if it does not already exist.

-- CUT --
finger   79/tcp
-- CUT --

    Tada!  It's installed.

Usage:

    Just use any normal finger client.

Author:
