My command line 'finger' seems to have gone TU.
 
It works fine if I use the dot addresses.  For instance:
finger admin@198.17.249.5

But if I use the named address, such as
finger admin@comtch.iea.com

I get back a error that states:
 
"in fingerd: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected"
 
I tried reinstalling it via the Unpack from my disks, but that
didn't work either.
 
Anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong with it, or any suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Ron.

They're not the same address.  Apparently lea.com has a new host and
moved the fingerd daemon to krel.iea.com.

[C:\TCPIP\BIN]nslookup comtch.iea.com
