Re: inetd listening to port 79 (finger)

[Vadim Kutsyy]

you are right:

# cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep finger
finger          stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/ffingerd

but interestingly enough:

#ls -la /usr/sbin/ffingerd
ls: /usr/sbin/ffingerd: No such file or directory

and

#dpkg -l ffingerd
pn  ffingerd       <none>         (no description available)

after modifying inetd.conf, nothing is listening to port 79

Thanks,

Vadim

For some reason I have inetd listening to port 79 (finger).  Are 
there any reason why it should be listening to port 79?

#lsof | grep finger
inetd     11048      root    4u  IPv4  827103602                 TCP 
*:finger (LISTEN)

Thanks,

Have you checked /etc/inetd.conf to see if somethig is configured to 
be run by inetd from that port?
