finger daemons
Are there any finger daemons available that do not require home directories world readable+executable? I want to beable to have a .pgpkey file in my home directory without being world readable+executable -- it doesn't even have to be suid root, all my home directories are group readable+executable by the www-data group... so the finger daemon could run as guid www-data. I guess for this to be secure, the program would need to copy the file to memory(?), give up its permissions, and then display the file... -Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Try to use cfingered. It ought to act with uid of the user when accessing their files.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I recently installed cfingerd and it doesn't work with secure home directories -- I noticed that adding support to open user files as root and then switch to nobody was *LAST* on their TODO list. Are there any other finger daemons that have this support and are as good as cfingerd? Also, thanks to all those users who tried to help me w/ cfingerd earilier on this list. - -Paul -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBM+ajp/MRUhbnJu3lAQGnZAMAiF3nZx+smu2Ye4OYw6gfhwbj4T7DQsYS ZNcLR9zCYO5q/wG14mDgiAqNJV1Ng5vX6yLBh9QcMnF6BWgYTVmSexg7QnbaJPw4 7IsiJWay8C0Vaq5U9/nU6nar65DUNcfD =mbwp -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

You could install cfingerd-1.3.2.noroot.tar.gz. Install and compile it. Available at your nearest sunsite mirrors worldwide. It's basically a hacked cfingerd which enables it to run as nobody. Tested and it, and I'm very satisfied with it. regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Andre M.
