/usr/sbin/in.fingerd [-s]
fingerd implements the server side of the Name/Finger protocol, specified inRFC 742.The Name/Finger protocol provides a remote interface to programs which display informationon system status and individual users. The protocol imposes little structure on theformat of the exchange between client and server. The client provides asingle command line to the finger server which returns a printable reply.
fingerd waits for connections on TCP port 79. Once connected, it readsa single command line terminated by RETURN-LINEFEED and passes the arguments tofinger(1), prepended with-s.fingerd closes its connections as soon as theoutput is finished.
fingerd supports the following option.
Enable secure mode. Deny forwarding of queries to other remote hosts.

Connecting directly to the server from a TIP or an equally narrow-mindedTELNET-protocol user program can result in meaningless attempts at option negotiation beingsent to the server, which foul up the command line interpretation.fingerdshould be taught to filter out IAC's and perhaps even respond negatively (IACdoes not) to all option commands received.
Thein.fingerd service is managed by the service management facility,smf(5), underthe service identifier:
svc:/network/finger:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart,can be performed usingsvcadm(1M). Responsibility for initiating and restarting this service isdelegated toinetd(1M). Useinetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to viewconfiguration information for this service. The service's status can be queried usingthesvcs(1) command.
