cfingerd not working for remote for remote queries

[Martin Bialasinski <martin@internet-treff.uni-koeln.de>]

Hi,

I have some Problems setting up cfingerd.

Local fingering:

I have in /root
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           30 Nov 21 14:11 .nofinger
but still one can finger root. 

I have a userid martin, but when I "finger martin" I not only get the info
about this user, but also about a user whose name is Martin (his uid is
Heiden). Not the behavior I like.

Remote fingering:

Doesn't work at all.

%finger martin@134.95.210.54
[134.95.210.54]
                 
This is all I get.

Syslog reports:
Nov 21 14:02:47 bundy xinetd[276]: START: finger pid=2003
from=134.95.100.214
Nov 21 14:02:47 bundy xinetd[2003]: USERID: finger OTHER : 400
Nov 21 14:02:47 bundy xinetd[276]: EXIT: finger signal=7 pid=2003
duration=0(sec)

I also tried finger @134.95.210.54 and non_existent_uid@134.95.210.54
but the result is the same.

I use:

 netstd          3.00-1
 netbase         3.00-1
 xinetd          2.1.7-3
 cfingerd        1.3.2-3
 libc5           5.4.33-7

Does someone use cfingerd successfully? Maybe you could then mail me your
cfingerd.conf ?

Ciao,
	Martin
