Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I notice that FreeBSD finger is setup so that, when someone does "finger @my.machine.edu", they instead of getting a listing of all on-line users, they get "must provide username". I know that some people like this more secure/private/whatever way of finger, but I don't. How do I make finger work like it should? Do i have to hack on the sources for fingerd, or is there a command-line switch or something I can use on it? or what? Please let me know, thanks!
