NAME

       userlist - Userlisting of who's on your system.

SYNOPSIS

       userlist

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  simply  gives you a listing of who is connected to your system.  It is used
       primarily in the sorted listing of cfingerd, which utilitizes the same method  of  display
       for  a  more  uniform  output between systems.  (It also made more sense to do it this way
       instead of having jumbled up display listings in sorted finger displays.  Besides, it made
       more sense to do this than use finger.  :)

       This  program  functions with the same types of things in mind that cfingerd does.  If the
       user has a .nofinger file, their username will not be displayed in the userlisting.

       Example output is shown as:

        Username Real Name      Idletime TTY Remote console
        username I'm real ...   9d 23:59   0 (remote.site.com)

       where it would display the user's login name, the user's real name, their idle time  given
       in  the  format  "dd  hh:mm",  their  TTY,  and  their  remote  location (or where they're
       telnetting from).

       If the username is over 8 characters, the program will not search for their information in
       the passwd file, since it may be too long.  Besides, it checks getpwnam, anyway.  :)

OPTIONS

       -c     Give standard CFINGERD (custom) output.

       -n     List only people idle less than one day.

ADDITIONAL

       Although  userlist  is not required to run as suid root, it is a good idea.  The reason is
       it checks each users' directory for a .nofinger file.  If indeed that user has a .nofinger
       file in his/her directory, that user will not be shown in the userlisting.

       If  you  change  the program to run as nobody.nobody, you are free to do so.  But you will
       also show the users if they  are  online,  regardless  of  whether  or  not  they  have  a
       ".nofinger" file (as long as their directory is NOT world-readable.)
