In \tcpip\bin I have a finger.exe installed by TCPIP 2.0. Just migrate it,
works fine.

You can obtain a FINGER Server via Anonymous FTP to FTP-OS2.CDROM.COM.
It is in the pub/os2/2_x/network directory. The file is FINGERD.ZIP.
This program will allow Internet users to "finger" your OS/2 host.
It supports logging, dynamic USERIDs, bulletins, audible notification,
remote control, etc.
If you want a FINGER Client, one is provided as a part of IBM's TCP/IP
software base kit package. This program will allow you to "finger"
other Internet hosts.

Ken,
I meant the finger daemon. Finger.exe allows me to finger other computers,
but they can't finger me unless I run a finger daemon. In message

ripoff that IBM wants to charge $150.00 and another
$100 for NFS. If anyone knows any Beta program that
will do the work please let me know.
PS: NeXTSTEP offers networking + compliler + OS
all for $250.00 for students. Compare this to OS/2.

There's a REXX (.cmd) fingerD available from ftp-os2, probably in
/pub/os2/2_x/network. It works pretty well, but I wish I could start it from
inetd.

Just a guess, but perhaps inetd expects .exe-type programs, and not rexx
macros. I would try putting in a CMD /C fingerd.cmd as the inetd.lst
entry and see what happens (if you haven't already). For some reason,
it seems like I remember inetd only accepts a 1-token program name, which
would mean you couldn't do this.

No, actually Inetd does support rexx macros. However, the macro must bind to
the pre-opened (by inetd) socket specified as the first command-line parameter
(same goes for anything run from inetd); fingerd doesn't support this, and I
don't know enough about Rexx and RexxSock to fix it up. I don't get fingered
very frequently, and thus don't want to waste an entire session to run fingerd.
