Finger Service

(since 5.4.449)

Enhanced the finger service so that the system can send host generic information to any finger client.

Examples:

finger info@domain.com
finger info-bbs@domain.com
finger info-support@domain.com
finger info-products@domain.com
finger info-etc@domain.com

The way this works is you create files in the DATA\ directory:

data\finger-info.txt
data\finger-bbs.txt
data\finger-support.txt
data\finger-products.txt
data\finger-etc.txt

By default, finger info@domain.com will display a finger-info.txt file if available. To display any other file, you would use this syntax:

finger info-XXXX@domain.com

and then you would create the file data\finger-XXXX.txt

So in your FINGER-INFO.TXT we recommend that you introduce your system and explain how to use the info command to display any other information file or service you may have.

Example: Finger-info.txt
