in.xfingerd - Finger to LDAP/X.500 gateway daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.xfingerd [-f filterfile] [-i][-l] [-t templatefile] [-c rdncount] [-x hostname][-p port] DESCRIPTION
in.xfingerdis the LDAP/X.500 finger daemon. It runs from
inetd(8)and translatesfinger queries into LDAP queries or X.500 queries via LDAP.It also understandsUFN-style names, so fingering something like "tim howes,umich,usAATThostname"will do a UFN search.
To arrange to have in.xfingerd started from inetdadd a line like this to your/etc/inetd.conf(5)file, or the equivalent:
finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.xfingerd in.xfingerd
For these changes to take effect with inetd, you will probably haveto send it it a HUP signal. Seeinetd(8)for more details.
OPTIONS
- -f filterfile
- Specify an alternate filter configuration file for use with theldap_getfilter(3)facility, used byin.xfingerd.
- -i
- Run in interactive mode. With this flag in.xfingerd can berun from a terminal in "one shot" mode, reading the fingerrequest from standard input. This is useful for debugging.
- -l
- Disable logging of various status and errors to the LOG_LOCAL4 facility viasyslog(8).Note that this flag turns OFF logging. The default is on.
- -t templatefile
- Specify an alternate template configuration file for use with theldap_init_templates(3)facility, used byBR in.xfingerd .
- -c rdncount
- Specify the number of DN components to show for the names and DN attributeswithin entries matching the search.

NOTES
The default values for most of the things you can specify withoptions are configured at compile time in the
