Many wrote that guest is running fingerd but we have root running fingerd
thru inetd. So i have search the zero backup we took and it came out that
you are rigth. Sgi did use guest to run fingerd. The mystery for me now is
to find out how guest changed to root.
thanks for listening
take care.
P.s: can someone that is using irix 6.4 -just for a test-
change from guest to root in fingerd line in inetd.conf and tell me what
happened?
