pinky does not use finger's network prototcol -- it only looks on the local
machine.
gnome-nettool/src/finger.c seems to even prefer pinky:
program = util_find_program_in_path ("pinky", NULL);
if (program != NULL) {
program_name = g_strdup ("pinky");
} else {
program = util_find_program_dialog ("finger", parent);
program_name = g_strdup ("finger");
}
So if both pink and finger exist, it'll still use pinky. Perhaps the
logic should be:
program = util_find_program_in_path ("finger", NULL);
if (program != NULL) {
program_name = g_strdup ("finger");
} else {
program = util_find_program_dialog ("pinky", parent);
program_name = g_strdup ("pinky");
}
