GNU Finger

5.4 Configuration Options

The following definitions in `config.h' control the behavior of GNU Finger:

SUPPORT_FINGERRC

Undefine to prevent users from writing `.fingerrc' scripts. Defined by default.

CHECK_OWNER_FINGERRC

Define to make sure `.fingerrc' is owned by the user in whose directory it's found.

CHECK_RDONLY_FINGERRC

Define to make sure `.fingerrc' isn't writable by anyone other than its owner.

FINGERRC_SHELL

The shell to use to execute `.fingerrc'. Undefine to use user's login shell.

DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL

Define to be the delay between polls, in seconds, unless an interval is explicitly given to fingerd with the `--interval' option.

BASENAME_IS_SERVICE

Undefine if you always want the finger client to use the `finger' service. Otherwise the service is deduced from the basename of the client. Defined by default.

INFO_IS_DEFAULT

Define if you prefer `finger --info' to be the default, undefine if you prefer `finger --brief' to be the default.
