Basic Installation
==================

Here are the steps that you will need to take in order to install GNU
Finger.

  1. Pick a machine which will be the local finger server for your
     network. Create a `clients' file, and install it in
     `/usr/local/etc/fingerdir' (or the EtcDir as specified in
     `config.h'). Put the names of all hosts that should report to the
     finger server in this file. Don't forget to include the finger
     server itself.

  2. For each client (the designated server is also a client), do the
     following,


  3. to 5. are DONE


  6. Modify the system configuration so that the client has (refer to
     the system documentation for details on how to do this on a
     particular system):

        * Entries in the system `services' file, or equivalent, which
          mentions the correct TCP port for `in.cfingerd' (port 2003)
          and `in.fingerd' (port 79). If port 2003 is already used by
          something else, then read the section on Configuration
          Files for details on how to specify a port other than 2003
          in the `/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/clients' file. A good name
          for the service is `cfinger'.

        * Entries in the system `inetd.conf' file, or equivalent,
          which contains references to `in.cfingerd' and `in.fingerd'.
          `in.fingerd' needs to be run with UID `root'.  Consult your
          system documentation for details on how to do this.
          `in.cfingerd' should be run with UID `root' on System V
          derivatives.

        * a `/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/serverhost' file which contains
          the name of the GNU Finger server host,

        * a `/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/mailhost' file which contains
          the name of the mail server to ask for user mail forwarding
          information and mailing list expansion, and

        * the inetd daemon restarted, so that server and user
          requests can be answered.

  7. When you have performed the above steps for each client, log
     onto the designated GNU Finger server.

  8. Start the server daemon, `fingerd'. You should arrange to have
     `fingerd' started every time the server host is rebooted. For
     exact details on how to do this, please refer to the server
     host's system documentation.

  9. If you chose to include the mugshots option, now might be a good
     time to install the mugshots.  But first, try getting a face
     from another site running GNU Finger!  For example, you might try
          `finger --face bfox@aurel.cns.caltech.edu'

 10. Modify the files `x-.help' and `x-.site' in
     `/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/targets' for your site.


Now you're all set! You might like to read through the section on
Configuration Files.
