Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been making some modifications to fingerd to allow me to not only know what system is making the contact but who they are trying to finger, etc. I have seen some systems that are able to figure out what system a finger request originated from even if the request was forwarded. In some cases, systems have even been able to tell what user ran finger in the first place. This seems to be mostly on systems that are able to tell what USER (from a system) is telneting to them. Any ideas on how I could go about setting that up? Where would I be able to find that sort of information about incoming requests? Thanks, -Jerry.
