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.
