Finger


Is there anything that anyone knows of in cygwin that runs like UNIX's
"finger",   giving local login and time info when run locally on an NT/2000
machine?


OK,  so I got a free bsd version of "fingerd" to compile run with inetd.
But it expects a UNIX style "finger" which, by default displays currently
logged in users.  Problem is that the NT/2000 version looks to a remote
fingerd server.  so if I specify a user,  I get an endless loop of
finger.exe's (as nt hits inetd,  which spawns a fingerd,  which spawns
another finger.exe.  etc.)_   fingerd allows me to run another program
instead of "finger"  if I can find one has anyone got any ideas?

thanks
Bruce Dobrin
