HP OpenVMS Systems

ask the wizard

Finger already had it?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Why do I get the following messages when I run the finger command on version
 7.2-2 of Alpha OpenVMS.
$finger
Already had it!
Already had it!
etc. (the above repeats about 13 times then it will show the username program
 etc, like it is suppose to.)?

The Answer is :

 
  This "Already had it" text would appear to be a misfeature within the
  finger client or server for the version of TCP/IP Services in use in
  your configuration.  (This text is not displayed with TCP/IP Services
  V5.3 ECO 1, though the version involved with your case is unfortunately
  not specified.  The errant text is displayed by TCP/IP Services T5.4,
  however.)
