There is none. However, a finger server is a fairly simple piece of software. Just for fun, you can get away with something like: finger stream tcp nowait nobody /bin/cat cat /etc/issue in inetd.conf. Similarly, you are free to hack the existing finger server, or replace it by something else. There's also a GNU finger package (though apparently no longer maintained) which might give you some ideas. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
