Description Ben Smithurst 2000-02-17 18:00:01 UTC

fingerd's -l option is not IPv6 aware, which can cause problems attempting
to obtain the hostname for an IPv6 connection.

Fix: simple patch, may not be perfect:
How-To-Repeat: 
change "tcp" to "tcp46" on the "finger" line in /etc/inetd.conf, add
fingerd's -l option, and connect to the finger service via an IPv6
address.

Thanks, I applied the patch (with variable name change), and
confirmed it locally with updated finger command.  So I
committed it. 
(I also made finger IPv6 update to confirm it but not yet
committed it, because the change is small but not very
trivial, and seems not so essential as to commit it in this
code freeze phase. Maybe you tried it from another platform?)

Please also check if it also fixed in your environment.

Thanks,
Yoshinobu Inoue
