I've noticed a oddity on some FreeBSD 2.2 and 3.0-current machines. If I finger a user on a public host of ours, I just get the hostname in square brackets i.e. [servername.somewhere.org] and nothing else. If I try it from a Solaris box or a Linux box on the same network, with nothing more (or less) special on the public machine's hosts.allow, it displays the relevant information. Any ideas ? --- Khetan Gajjar [ http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan] I'm a FreeBSD User!
