It acts just the same as normal... (and I did HUP inetd) Use this: finger stream tcp nowait nobody /bin/cat /etc/finger.msg That last portion of inetd.conf is just what executable to run.. it has nothing to do with what port or service to run as. That is determined by the first field "finger" is an alias for 79. 79, of course, is the standard port for the finger service. Make sure that nobody has read perms on /etc/finger.msg too. Michael J.
