excuse me, i am still not very clear about how to use<br />
this Use tcp_wrapper or /etc/inetd.conf <br />
<br />
one thing i want to clarify is that i am just an ordinary user<br />
not administrator, maybe i can't modify some files in certain<br />
directories in our UNIX system.<br />
<br />
many thanks<br />

Yes, you must be root to modify /etc/inetd.conf (if your system is setup properly). Because finger functionality is implemented via port 79 (secure/trusted port), accounting can only be done by the service (fingerd, tcpd, tcp_wrapper) for this port.<br />

Is there any UNIX command to tell me who has ever used<br />
the command &quot;finger&quot; to finger me???<br />

Someone told me there is one command in /usr, but i <br />
didn't find it.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
