efingerd 1.6.2

efingerd 1.6.2 will enhance the use of your desktop applications. It is actually a replacement for standard linux finger daemon. It offers you the possibility to execute programs when somebody fingers you, and choose the output depending on who is doing that to you.

If you are just an ordinary user and efingerd is already installed by your  friendly administrator, you can take the advantage of it by making  executable .efingerd in your home directory (it can be anything - from  single shell script to a program in super-hyper-extra-object oriented  language - only speed makes a difference). This program takes two  arguments, the first is the name of remote user fingering you (or (null)  if his/her/its system does not run indent), the second one is address of  his computer (or IP number, if efingerd is installed with option -n).  Standard output of this program is then displayed to the person fingering you.

Requirements:

• linux
• freebsd
• maybe others
