Hi Roy,

 RJT> do I need to change in order to fix this?

The finger program supplied with OS/2 is a finger CLIENT. It needs to connect
with a finger SERVER (fingerd). OS/2 is not a multi-user OS, so it does not
come with fingerd, which is why your Linux box could not find a FINGER Server. 

If you connect to the Internet, then try running finger pointed at a site that 
you think is running a fingerd and you should get a result. Be warned, not all 
sites run fingerd. If you have trouble try -

  finger kcbbs.gen.nz

and then try -

  finger dgd@kcbbs.gen.nz

Last time I looked (about 3 years ago) a fingerd was running there. I think
dgd also has a profile set up so that may report something...

Cheers............pk.
