Usage
ptkfinger [address]
Overview
ptkfinger is a finger (TCP port 79) client for X, written in Perl/Tk.
Finger is usually used to provide information about a user at a certain host, but it is also sometimes used to provide a source of other information.
As well as simple finger ability, it also provides an option for long finger output.
Options
address-
The address to finger (user for local users, or user@host).
Requirements
ptkfinger requires a fairly up-to-date version of Perl (version 5.002 or better). It also (obviously) requires Perl/Tk. Perl/Tk is available in the Nick-Ing Simmons author directory at CPAN. It is also available as a Debian package.
