Hi,

When the finger service will be restored on ftp.kernel.org ?

linux-gpq3:~ # finger @ftp.kernel.org
finger: Connection refused


Thanks,

Tarkan

http://kernel.org
" Aug 21, 2003: Please don't use finger.kernel.org for any sort of
automatic monitoring. The number of automatic bots hitting this port
is causing the finger daemon to shut down more often than not. The
same information is available from
http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner. "

The finger_banner page appears to be current, so perhaps switch to this:

curl http://kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner

OK. Thanks for your response.

It doesn't look like it here:

$ curl http://kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner
...
The latest snapshot 3 version of the Linux kernel is:         3.1-rc4-git2
The latest mainline 3 version of the Linux kernel is:         3.1-rc4

...

$ date
Mon Oct 17 14:50:59 CEST 2011

It seems both the finger_banner file and http://kernel.org home page
both list -rc4 as the current 'mainline'.
So, the rebuild of kernel.org has not yet hit the scripts that update
those files.

Give it time, those sysadmins have been rather busy lately.

Cheers!
