I have recently upgraded from the old Ameristar TCP/IP software to Commodore's
AS225 (version 1.0) and am having a problem with finger (fingerd, actually, I
think). The behavior is this: everything else seems to work fine (NFS, Rlogin,
ftp, finger, etc.), but when I finger the Amiga from a remote machine the
best thing that happens is I get no response - the worst thing that happens is
my Amiga crashes (an Amiga 2500 at version 1.3). I will list below the output
of various possibly relevant commands, and some of the startup files. I have
replaced the name of my machine with AMIGA and commented out the addresses - I
don't want to make it tto easy for everyone to get their laughs by crashing my
machine ;-). I am fairly familiar with setting up tcp/ip stuff, so I am
moderately confident that the addresses, netmasks, etc. are all OK. All Amiga
stacks are 20,000. Please send me e-mail if you have any ideas, if anything
works I will summarize and post a followup. Thanks in advance. David.
