Err.. sorry, not following you. :-) Who is using Dreamhost and what has it got to do with the finger protocol? Werner doesn't seem to be using Dreamhost for what it's worth. Anyway, I admit that my comment about the finger protocol is not exactly on-topic but I was just curious about Werner's assumption that the protocol would be meaningful to an arbitrary browser. For example, even though I've got a command line finger client on my system none of my installed browsers know about it. I'd have to manually add a system mapping for the finger: protocol (and even then I'd also have to add a wrapper to open the finger client in a persistent shell so I could see the results). -- MarkR PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
