Excellent. I've incorporated the changes into fingerall. I also changed
it to return exact matches only on username though, just like my original
version did. With 10,000+ usernames you could get quite a few matches
depending on the login name you're looking for with your version. Try it
on an ISDN user and make sure it still brings up both usernames when you
get the chance, but it should. I left the wk-fingerall in case you wanted
it for anything else Wade.
More updates:
If you all think it's more useful to be able to search by pattern instead
of exact username let me know and I'll change it back. Or I can make it so
you can switch it one way or the other. Kirk also asked about making it so
that it will stop after the first match. If that's the case it won't pick
up on the second user, even for ISDN. I'm not sure that's a good idea, but
I can toss that in this weekend if you decide you want that.
I moved my script into /usr/local/bin/skreien as it requires more than 1
file to run, due to the nasty way of getting names from the
netservers. Easier to keep track of the files. I linked it back into
/usr/local/bin so everyone just runs fingerall like normal though.
I won't be able to offer anything other than the username and address of
anyone on the netservers. The cool stuff just doesn't work on them.
I hate the way I get the usernames from the netservers right now, but it
works. It's basically a scripted telnet session. I want to make it use
snmp just like the hiperarcs, but I need Terry's help to find where the
netservers store the usernames in the MIB. I'll clean it up more this
weekend. As soon as work calms down a little I'll get with Terry and we'll
fix it properly.
Terry- I got expect installed on jr. :-)
Jeremy may be in bed before me tonight. ;-)
Almost done....
