#AudioMo day 2 - #fingerprotocol
#smolnet
Welcome to AudioMo day 2, and we're gonna be talking about the finger protocol.
So this is a very old protocol.
I think it comes just around the same time as email, which will make a little bit more sense when we go into the details of it. 1/

In practice, how do you envisage a client/server treating a “null” discoverable flag, differently to a “false” one?

The Finger Protocol seems to have had an alternative unofficial TCP-port, other than TCP-port 79.
TCP-port 2003
It was used by GNU cfinger.
TCP-port 2003 would not typically require 'root' privileges — in systems that require 'root' privileges for TCP-ports less-than 1024.

Regarding:
"Any key accounts from the event organizers?"
You are already following me 🙂 And, I have been posting under the #fedicon hash-tag.

But, I should create a new account for the conference.
(I will do that soon.)
