9 .B [\-l] [\-t templatefile] [\-c rdncount] [\-x hostname]
13 is the LDAP/X.500 finger daemon. It runs from
16 finger queries into LDAP queries or X.500 queries via LDAP.
18 UFN-style names, so fingering something like "tim howes,umich,us@hostname"
21 To arrange to have in.xfingerd started from inetd
22 add a line like this to your
23 .BR /etc/inetd.conf (5)
24 file, or the equivalent:
28 finger stream tcp nowait nobody LIBEXECDIR/in.xfingerd in.xfingerd
32 For these changes to take effect with inetd, you will probably have
33 to send it it a HUP signal. See
39 Specify an alternate filter configuration file for use with the
40 .BR ldap_getfilter (3)
45 Run in interactive mode. With this flag in.xfingerd can be
46 run from a terminal in "one shot" mode, reading the finger
47 request from standard input. This is useful for debugging.
50 Disable logging of various status and errors to the LOG_LOCAL4 facility via
52 Note that this flag turns OFF logging. The default is on.
54 .BI \-t " templatefile"
55 Specify an alternate template configuration file for use with the
56 .BR ldap_init_templates (3)
61 Specify the number of DN components to show for the names and DN attributes
62 within entries matching the search.
65 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
68 Specify an alternate port on which the ldap server is listening.
70 The default values for most of the things you can specify with
71 options are configured at compile time in the
72 .B include/ldapconfig.h.edit
73 include file. Also included there are various messages displayed
74 by the finger daemon when finding no matches, encountering errors, etc.
