Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 10:33:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1065029629.14866.7.camel@gentoo.pendulus.net> (raw)
Considering that this topic was brought up before and it had some
security problems aka user names could be guessed from it, I would
propose setting up a hacked version of finger which originally pulls
data from multiple sources to pull it from a .xml file. I'm sure we
could put at the top: Even though this user is a gentoo developer, it
does not mean he is a user of this server. If anyone were to try to hack
it with login names in the list it could be blocked indefinately from
that host to ever access the server again because not everyone in that
list has access to web servers and such.
Thanks,
Benjamin Coles
