1/13 Does anyone know where to find that program that tracks who
fingers you, like OCF did a few years back?
\_ Masterplan - the finger detector
http://www.netspace.org/~ldb/masterplan.html
Perhaps a little crusty, but anyone tried it? -slow
\_ Haha, there isn't any
\_ So they wrote the program by themselves and locked away
the source code?
\_ Yes. -alanc- (aka finger@ocf)
\_ Check our ~yuen/misc/plan that I got from Andrew Choi six years
ago. It creates ~/.plan as a pipe and monitors when someone
reads it. --- yuen
\_ Go to UCB Excess & Salvage & buy all the former OCF
apollos and you'll find the source code on one of
them.
\_ if you care that much, freebsd fingerd logs the "target" of
the finger request in /var/log/daemon.log. grep your name
in /var/log/daemong.log. --jon
\_ actually, daeomn.log only shows remote finger requests, but
then that is implied by fingerd. --jon
\_ Check our ~yuen/misc/plan that I got from Andrew Choi (achoi)
six years ago. It creates ~/.plan as a pipe and monitors when
someone reads it. Cool! Don't know if it still works on this
incarnation of soda though. --- yuen
\_ Doesn't work on multiple-machine clusters like
EECS, OCF, or most ISP's.
\_ FreeBSD finger does a silly check of your .plan to see if it
will fit on one line or not; which is fine, but then it
"rewinds" the file to display the whole thing. You can't back
up in a pipe (named or otherwise), so it barfs. I'll fix that
in source one of these days and compile a new finger binary;
will post when it works --dbushong |
