NWG/RFC# 742 KLH 30-Dec-77 08:31 42758
Network Working Group K.
Request for Comments: 742 SRI-
NIC: 42758 30 December 1977



NAME/






This note describes the Name/Finger protocol. This is a
protocol which provides an interface to the Name and Finger
at several network sites. These programs return a friendly
human-oriented status report on either the system at the moment or
particular person in depth. Currently only the SAIL (SU-AI),
(SRI-(KA/KL)), and ITS (MIT-(AI/ML/MC/DMS)) sites support
protocol, but there are other systems with similar programs
could easily be made servers; there is no required format and
protocol consists mostly of specifying a single "command line".

To use via the network

ICP to socket 117 (octal, 79. decimal) and establish two 8-
connections

Send a single "command line", ending with .

Receive information which will vary depending on the above line
the particular system. The server closes its connections as soon
this output is finished

The command line

Systems may differ in their interpretations of this line. However
the basic scheme is straightforward: if the line is null (i.e.
a is sent) then the server should return a "default"
which lists all people using the system at that moment. If on
other hand a user name is specified (e.g. FOO) then
response should concern only that particular user, whether logged
or not

Both ITS and SAIL sites allow several names to be included on
line, separated by commas; but the syntax for some servers can
slightly more elaborate. For example, if "/W" (called the "
switch") also appears on the line given to an ITS server, much
descriptions are returned. The complete documentation may be
at any time in the files ".INFO.;NAME ORDER" on MIT-AI
"FINGER.LES[UP,DOC]" on SU-AI, and "<DOCUMENTATION>FINGER.DOC"

Name/



SRI-KL, all freely accessible by FTP (with the exception of SRI-KL
where TOPS-20 requires the "anonymous" login convention).

Allowable "names" in the command line should of course include "
names" or "login names" as defined by the system, but it is
reasonable to understand last names or even full names as well. If
name is ambiguous, all possible derivations should be returned
some fashion; SAIL will simply list the possible names and no more
whereas an ITS server will furnish the full standard information
each possibility

Response to null command line - "default" listing

This is a request for a list of all online users, much like a TOPS-10
or TENEX "systat". To fulfill the basic intent of the Name/
programs, the returned list should include at least the full names
each user and the physical locations of their terminals insofar
they can be determined. Including the job name and idle time (
of minutes since last typein, or since last job activity) is
reasonable and useful. The appendix has examples which
how this information can be formatted

Response to non-null command line - "name" listing

For in-depth status of a specified user, there are two main cases
If the user is logged in, a line or two is returned in the
format as that for the "default" listing, but showing only that user
If not logged in, things become more interesting. Furnishing
full name and time of last logout is the expected thing to do,
there is also a "plan" feature, wherein a user may leave a
message that will be included in the response to such requests.
is easily implemented by (for example) having the program look for
specially named text file on the user's directory or some
area. See the examples for typical "plans".

Implementation miscellany

Anyone wishing to implement such a server is encouraged to get
touch with the maintainers of NAME by sending a message to BUG-NAME @
MIT-AI; apart from offering advice and help, a list of all
with such servers is kept there. It is also suggested that
existing programs performing similar functions locally (i.e. not
net servers) be extended to allow specification of other sites,
names at other sites. For example, on ITS systems one can
":NAME" for a local default listing, or ":NAME @SAIL"
SAIL's default listing, or ":NAME Foo@MC" to ask MIT-MC
Foo's status, etc

Name/



It should be noted that connecting directly to the server from a
or an equally narrow-minded TELNET-protocol user program can
in meaningless attempts at option negotiation being sent to
server, which will foul up the command line interpretation unless
server knows enough to filter out IAC's and perhaps even
negatively (IAC WON'T) to all option commands received. This is
convenience but is not at all required, since normally the user
is just an extended NAME/FINGER type program

And finally a little background

The FINGER program at SAIL, written by Les Earnest, was
inspiration for the NAME program on ITS. Earl Killian at MIT
Brian Harvey at SAIL were jointly responsible for implementing
protocol just described, and Greg Hinchliffe has recently brought
a similar server for SRI-KA and SRI-KL

Note: it is possible for some lines of the actual output to exceed 80
chars in length. The handling of such lines is of course dependant
the particular user program; in these examples, lines have
truncated to 72 chars for greater clarity

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
