| +.SH SYNOPSIS |
| +.B try-from |
| +.SH DESCRIPTION |
| +The |
| +.B try\-from |
| +command can be called via a remote shell command to find out |
| +if the hostname and address are properly recognized |
| +by the |
| +.B tcp_wrapper |
| +library, if username lookup works, and (SysV only) if the TLI |
| +on top of IP heuristics work. Diagnostics are reported through |
| +.BR syslog (3) |
| +and redirected to stderr. |
| + |
| +Example: |
| + |
| +rsh host /some/where/try\-from |

| +.SH NAME |
| +safe_finger \- finger client wrapper that protects against nasty stuff |
| +from finger servers |
| +.SH SYNOPSIS |
| +.B safe_finger [finger_options] |
| +.SH DESCRIPTION |
| +The |
| +.B safe_finger |
| +command protects against nasty stuff from finger servers. Use this |
| +program for automatic reverse finger probes from the |
| +.B tcp_wrapper |
| +.B (tcpd) |
| +, not the raw finger command. The |
| +.B safe_finger |
| +command makes sure that the finger client is not run with root |
| +privileges. It also runs the finger client with a defined PATH |
| +environment. |
| +.B safe_finger |
| +will also protect you from problems caused by the output of some |
| +finger servers. The problem: some programs may react to stuff in |
| +the first column. Other programs may get upset by thrash anywhere |
| +on a line. File systems may fill up as the finger server keeps |
| +sending data. Text editors may bomb out on extremely long lines. |
| +The finger server may take forever because it is somehow wedged. |
| +.B safe_finger |
| +takes care of all this badness. |
