NAME
       athinfod - Supply information about a workstation


SYNOPSIS
       athinfod


DESCRIPTION
       athinfod  is  normally  run  from  inetd.  It responds to those queries
       which  are  defined  in   /etc/athena/athinfo.defs   and   enabled   in
       /etc/athena/athinfo.access.   The query is read from standard input and
       must be a sequence of printable nonspace  characters  terminated  by  a
       newline (optionally preceded by a carriage return).  Once the query has
       been read, the receiving side of the inetd  socket  is  shut  down  and
       standard  input  is  replaced  with  /dev/null,  so that input from the
       client may not affect the response to the query.
