After a couple of false starts, everything seems to be working okay again... with one exception: finger. I've made no changes to inetd.conf but now when you use finger to list users on a system ('finger @somewhere.com'), all it returns is the remote system name. I went through the archives and noticed this problem mentioned a couple of times, but no cause (or solution). Nothing shows up in the syslog... it just doesn't work like it did. Not all systems return empty details, though, so far most that don't work seem to be non-UNIX systems, though that isn't consistant either; a specific site either works or doesn't. Fingering the local system works as it should. What changed? And more importantly, how can I fix it short of finding the old source for finger again? Do I need to CVsup some other release? TIA... -Dave
