- I am having a problem with the finger command when used from a remote machine
- to my machine. If on a remote machine and a finger to my machine is attempted,
- the result is just my machine address. For example:
-
- > finger eric@mil.ufl.edu
-
- results in the following
-
- > [mil.ufl.edu]
- >
-
- My /etc/passwd seems to be alright. I don't know if this is relevant, but
- my machine is a Silicon Graphics 4D/20 with a System V Release 3.2 operating
- system.
-
- Thanks for your assitance,
-
- Eric
