Thank you! It works like a charm. I had to make one small change on our system because of the chunk of code below. > #ifdef hpux > execv("/usr/local/bin/finger", av); > #else > execv("/usr/ucb/finger", av); > #endif "hpux" was not defined in fingerd.c or any any of the include files (as far as I could tell). In addition, our finger is in /bin. So I replaced the above with: execv("/bin/finger", av); With this done, I can now finger my HP from another machine. But, of course, the HP can't finger other machines. Does anyone have a finger.c (not fingerd.c) that has this capability? Perhaps the finger you have in /usr/local/bin, Kimmo?
