	Finger protocol
		Typically the server side of the protocol is implemented by a program "fingerd" (for finger daemon), while the client side is implemented by the "name" and "finger" programs.
		Finger information has been frequently used by crackers[?] as a way to initiate a social engineering attack on a company's computer security system.
		For these reasons, while finger was widely used during the early days of Internet, by the 1990s the vast majority of sites on the internet no longer offered the service.

	Wikinfo \| Finger
		The finger is any of the digits of the hand in humans and other species such as the great apes.
		The grace of the fingers is not sacrificed to their dexterity due to the placement of their muscles in the forearm, with motion communicated via long tendons which may be observed on the back of the hand.
		The bones of the fingers are called phalanges (singular phalanx); the thumb has two phalanges, and the other fingers have three.

	Finger Information Page - finger
		The Name/Finger protocol is based on Request for comments document 742 (December 1977) as an interface to the name and finger programs that provide status reports on a particular computer system or a particular person at network sites.
		The program finger paint would supply information such as whether finger my girlfriend a user is currently logged-on, e-mail address, finger puppets full name etc. As well as standard user information, finger finger yourself hand and finger puppets displays the ring finger tattoo contents of the.project and.plan files in the user's home directory.
		Supplying such detailed the finger information as e-mail finger foods addresses and full names was considered acceptable and convenient in the early asian finger days of the Internet, but later was considered questionable for privacy and security reasons.

		We'll name the finger protocol implementation fingerd.protocols.FingerServer, and should derive from twisted.protocols.basic.LineReceiver which is a standard twisted protocol that helps work with line based protocols - like finger.
		Having the protocol, we need the means to hook it into a tcp listener.
		The Factory then is responsible for giving the protocol instance any global or other state that it needs to operate - such as the user_db.

	Finger protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer networking, the Name/Finger protocol and the Finger user information protocol are simple network protocols for the exchange of human-oriented status and user information.
		The finger program was written in 1971 by Les Earnest who created the program to solve the need of users who wanted information on other users of the network.
		The Finger user information protocol is based on RFC 1288 (The Finger User Information Protocol, December 1991).

	GNU Finger
		GNU Finger is a utility program designed to allow users of Unix hosts on the Internet network to get information about each other.
		Finger delivers information about users in varying formats, depending on how it is invoked.
		When invoked in this manner, GNU Finger displays the list of hosts that this user is currently logged in on, or, if the user is not logged in, the last time and location that he or she was.

	GLEP 12 -- Gentoo.org Finger Daemon
		The finger protocol is documented in rfc742 [1] and rfc1196 [2], a simple protocol that returns a human readable report about a particular user of the system.
		The finger protocol is mature, secure and widely used in the UNIX community.
		Some admins are concerned about the security of running a finger daemon on their machines, the class of security issues involved with the finger protocol are commonly referred to as "information leaks" [7].

		Finger was picked up by a number of other groups with DEC-10 computers that were connected to Arpanet -- software flowed in all directions around the net in those days.
		GNU Finger was developed in October 1992 and replaced Berkeley 4.3 Finger code.
		The GNU Finger displayed the the full name, home directory, shell, mail forwarding, Whether the user has any unread mail, and if so, when it was last read, the last login time and remote host (if known)and `.plan' and/or `.project' file.

		Since the finger "protocol" (rules for communication) is very simple, GNU Finger follows that protocol in responding to simple requests.

		The finger application can be used to print finger information about a user on the local host or any other host in the Internet which also supports the finger protocol.
		If the user is fairly sure that their host is a unix system and no finger information can be retrieved from a query, there is a good chance that the user's e-mail address involves a mail exchanger [MX] record.
		The host component of the e-mail address you fingered is a valid fully qualified domain name, but it does not support the finger protocol.

	Creating a New Protocol Handler
		What this means is that adding a precompiled protocol handler to an existing installation is simply a matter of copying the shared library into the components directory.
		It is responsible for returning basic information about the protocol to the network library (such as the default port and URI format) and for creating the appropriate type of channel to handle the request.
		We don't want to let the caller know about starting to write the finger request to the socket (it doesn't even know data is being written), but we do want to pass through a notification when it has started to read data from the socket.

	jGuru: What is the finger protocol and how can I use it?
		The finger protocol, defined in RFC 1288, is a way to obtain information about users on a remote machine.
		A user running a finger client can query a server for a list of users or to obtain information about a given user.
		This requires a finger server to be running on the target machine.

		With GNU Finger, a single host is designated the finger "server" host and collects information about who is logged on to other hosts at that site.
		GNU Finger follows the finger "protocol" (rules for communication) in responding to simple requests, since this protocol is siple.
		But it can also implement another protocol that lets two finger programs exchange information in a predetermined way; this allows faster and wider bandwidth communication.
