|

|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+The
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B safe_finger
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+command protects against nasty stuff from finger servers. Use this
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+program for automatic reverse finger probes from the
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B tcp_wrapper
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B (tcpd)
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+, not the raw finger command. The
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B safe_finger
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+command makes sure that the finger client is not run with root
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+privileges. It also runs the finger client with a defined PATH
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+environment.
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B safe_finger
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+will also protect you from problems caused by the output of some
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+finger servers. The problem: some programs may react to stuff in
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+the first column. Other programs may get upset by thrash anywhere
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+on a line. File systems may fill up as the finger server keeps
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+sending data. Text editors may bomb out on extremely long lines.
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+The finger server may take forever because it is somehow wedged.
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+.B safe_finger
|
|
|
94d08c8 |
+takes care of all this badness.
