Subject: A problem with CFINGERD
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Status: F
Hello Martin,
=============
since I've used cfingerd as my finger daemon I had problems with
determining the user's setting of his "mesg". Cfingerd always says
(independently from the real setting) that the user has his messages
disabled even when they are enabled.
I performed some primitive checks :). I noticed that when I set the
permissions for my tty file so that the group and other users were
allowed to write in it (so something like mode 622) then the cfingerd
reported (in fact correctly ;-) that I have messages allowed. So it
seems that cfingerd doesn't complain about disabled messages then and
only then if the group and others may write into specific tty file. But
as far as I know this is wrong, because issuing "mesg y" allows write
access for group only (mode 620)!
Could you please have a look at it? Nobody in the list debian-user gave
me an answer to this problem.
Thank you very much in forward.
Awaiting your answer
and wishing all the very best,
Peter
