Configuring Finger Service

To configure the router to accept finger as an access service, include the finger statement at the [edit system services] hierarchy level:



[edit system services]

finger {
<connection-limit limit>;
<rate-limit limit>;
}

By default, the router supports a limited number of simultaneous finger sessions and connection attempts per minute. Optionally, you can include either or both of the following statements to change the defaults:

connection-limit limit—Maximum number of simultaneous connections (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 75.
rate-limit limit—Maximum number of connection attempts accepted per minute (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 150.

You cannot include the finger statement on routers that run the JUNOS-FIPS software. We recommend that you do not use the finger service in a Common Criteria environment.
