To enable finger you have to check if it is enabled in your "inetd.conf" file and possibly adjust your "/etc/hosts.allow" file. According to "man finger" you could put your PGP key in a ".plan" file in your home directory. The book "Building Internet Firewalls" has a few recommendations for running a finger service on page 588. BTW does the Singapore government allow you to to use PGP? ===Janko van Roosmalen - Vught - Netherlands=== On Mon, 4 Dec 2000, James Lim wrote: > Hi there, > > Noticed some users here are using "finger host@domain.com" for > pgp key.
