Hi Linuxers,
OKAY! This is an Easy question:
Has anyone got finger to work from other machine to the Linux host? eg,
finger @thishost, where "thishost" is a 486DX33 8Mb, running 0.99pl2.
All I get back is:
[thishost.linux.net]
The same thing happens if I do a "telnet thishost 79".
Oh, and I'm running most of the latest SLS binaries.
I would REALLY like to know what the matter is.
Furthermore I can't get talk to work "Destination machine does not recognise
us", or something like that.
Telnet, and FTP work almost perfectly. (Okay, Telnet expects ^J for a line
to be accepted, but most hosts I have used that have telnet send ^M.
Similarly for ^? and ^H ).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Reply (via email PLEASE to "cjw1@ukc.ac.uk". The host
is down at the moment which explains why I am using a Bulletin Board).
Chris
