Introduction to Inetutils
The Inetutils package contains programs for basic networking
Project Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/
Configuration Information
--disable-logger: This option prevents Inetutils from installing the logger program, which is used by scripts to pass messages to the System Log Daemon. Do not install it because Util-linux-ng installs a better version later. |
--disable-syslogd: This option prevents Inetutils from installing the System Log Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package |
--disable-whois: This option disables the building of the Inetutils whois client, which is out of date. Instructions for a better whois client are in the CBLFS book |
--disable-servers: This disables the installation of the various network servers included as part of the Inetutils package. These servers are deemed not appropriate in a basic CLFS system. |
