Use this -program for automatic reverse finger probes from the -.B tcp_wrapper -.B (tcpd) -, not the raw finger command. The -.B safe_finger -command makes sure that the finger client is not run with root -privileges. It also runs the finger client with a defined PATH -environment. -.B safe_finger -will also protect you from problems caused by the output of some -finger servers. The problem: some programs may react to stuff in -the first column. Other programs may get upset by thrash anywhere -on a line. File systems may fill up as the finger server keeps -sending data. Text editors may bomb out on extremely long lines. -The finger server may take forever because it is somehow wedged. -.B safe_finger -takes care of all this badness. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR hosts_access (5), -.BR hosts_options (5), -.BR tcpd (8) -.SH AUTHOR -Wietse Venema, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. - |
