Hi,
I have just installed GNU finger on a SPARC20 running SOLARIS 2.4 and OpenWindows.
however, the user information is only provided to the finger server when one is logged
in either via telnet/rlogin or if xdm is turned off. If we run xdm the users who log
in locally via xdm are not reported to the finger server.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
  Carsten
