.SH NAME
|
|
in.xfingerd \- Finger to LDAP/X.500 gateway daemon
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B LIBEXECDIR/in.xfingerd [\-f filterfile] [\-i]
|
|
.B [\-l] [\-t templatefile] [\-c rdncount] [\-x hostname]
|
|
.B [\-p port]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B in.xfingerd
|
|
is the LDAP/X.500 finger daemon. It runs from
|
|
.BR inetd (8)
|
|
and translates
|
|
finger queries into LDAP queries or X.500 queries via LDAP.
|
|
It also understands
|
|
UFN-style names, so fingering something like "tim howes,umich,us@hostname"
|
|
will do a UFN search.
|
|
.LP
|
|
To arrange to have in.xfingerd started from inetd
|
|
add a line like this to your
|
|
.BR /etc/inetd.conf (5)
|
|
file, or the equivalent:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft tt
|
|
finger stream tcp nowait nobody LIBEXECDIR/in.xfingerd in.xfingerd
|
|
.ft
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
For these changes to take effect with inetd, you will probably have
|
|
to send it it a HUP signal. See
|
|
.BR inetd (8)
|
|
for more details.
