Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Right now, whois is only available to members of the wheel group. Others get a "whois/tcp: unknown service" or something to that effect. What file is controlling this? It seems that it's a file that's readable by wheel but not others. If I add a user to wheel, then whois starts working for them. The man page makes no reference to a control file. Does anyone know what it is? Cliff
