== Configuration Information ==<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
|'' --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.<br />
|-<br />
|''--disable-syslogd:'' This option prevents Inetutils from installing the System Log Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package<br />
|-<br />
|''--disable-whois:'' This option disables the building of the Inetutils whois client, which is out of date.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<br />
