1 .TH IN.XFINGERD 8C "27 November 1994" "U-M LDAP LDVERSION"
3 in.xfingerd \- Finger to LDAP/X.500 gateway daemon
5 .B ETCDIR/in.xfingerd [\-f filterfile] [\-i]
6 .B [\-l] [\-t templatefile] [\-c rdncount] [\-x hostname]
10 is the LDAP/X.500 finger daemon. It runs from
13 finger queries into LDAP queries or X.500 queries via LDAP.
15 UFN-style names, so fingering something like "tim howes,umich,us@hostname"
18 To arrange to have in.xfingerd started from inetd
19 add a line like this to your
20 .BR /etc/inetd.conf (5)
21 file, or the equivalent:
25 finger stream tcp nowait nobody ETCDIR/in.xfingerd in.xfingerd
29 For these changes to take effect with inetd, you will probably have
30 to send it it a HUP signal. See
36 Specify an alternate filter configuration file for use with the
37 .BR ldap_getfilter (3)
42 Run in interactive mode. With this flag in.xfingerd can be
43 run from a terminal in "one shot" mode, reading the finger
44 request from standard input. This is useful for debugging.
47 Disable logging of various status and errors to the LOG_LOCAL4 facility via
49 Note that this flag turns OFF logging. The default is on.
51 .BI \-t " templatefile"
52 Specify an alternate template configuration file for use with the
53 .BR ldap_init_templates (3)
58 Specify the number of DN components to show for the names and DN attributes
59 within entries matching the search.
62 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
65 Specify an alternate port on which the ldap server is listening.
67 The default values for most of the things you can specify with
68 options are configured at compile time in the
69 .B include/ldapconfig.h.edit
70 include file. Also included there are various messages displayed
71 by the finger daemon when finding no matches, encountering errors, etc.
