Simple outline of a fingerd client for inetd:
/**/
/* init info,data */ info = ""; data = "";
/* add rxsock */ rc = RxFuncAdd("SockLoadFuncs","RxSock","SockLoadFuncs")
/* load rxsock */ rc = SockLoadFuncs()
/* socket from inetd */ Parse arg ns
/* Connect */ rc = SockGetPeerName(ns,"peer.!")
/* Get real name */ rc = SockGetHostByAddr(peer.!addr,"peer.!")
/* Get any user data */ rc = SockRecv(ns,"data",1000)
/* do stuff: ----------------------------------------------------------
Note: the variable data contains what, if anything, was sent by the client.
1000 is the buffer length (pick whatever you want)

Do whatever processing you want to do with "data".

Put return information in the variable "info". Each line must be ended
by crlf.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Get the length */ textlength = length(info)
/* Send it */ rc = SockSend(ns,info,textlength)
/* close connection */ rc = SockSoClose(ns)
/* leave! */ exit
