PFinger consists of server and client for the standard finger service.
|
|
|
|
The PFinger server is a replacement for the standard Unix finger server. It
|
|
also implements the pip-protocol which could become the finger v2 protocol.
|
|
Its advantage over existing finger servers like GNU Finger or similar
|
|
enhanced Finger servers are its configurability, compatibility and security
|
|
(e.g. the server does not run as root).
|
|
|
|
The Pfinger client can be used for several tasks: First it provides an easy
|
|
way to edit the information the PFinger Server gives out about you. Then it
|
|
can be used as graphical version of the standard finger client to monitor
|
|
who is online.
