<title>Installation of Inetutils</title>
<para>All programs that come with Inetutils will not be installed.
However, the Inetutils build system will insist on installing all the
man pages anyway. The following patch will correct this
situation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&inetutils-man_pages-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>Inetutils has a minor issue with GCC-&gcc-version;. Fix it by
issuing the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i 's@<sys/types.h>@<sys/types.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>@' \
libicmp/icmp_timestamp.c</userinput></screen>

<title>The meaning of the configure options:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-ifconfig</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option prevents Inetutils from installing the
<command>ifconfig</command> program, which can be used to configure network
interfaces. LFS uses <command>ip</command> from IPRoute2 to perform
this task.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-logger</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option prevents Inetutils from installing the
<command>logger</command> program, which is used by scripts to
pass messages to the System Log Daemon. Do not install it because
Util-linux installs a better version later.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

<listitem>
<para>This option prevents Inetutils from installing the System Log
Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-whois</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option disables the building of the Inetutils
<command>whois</command> client, which is out of date. Instructions for
a better <command>whois</command> client are in the BLFS book.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-servers</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>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 LFS system. Some are insecure by nature and are
only considered safe on trusted networks. More information can be found
at <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/svn/basicnet/inetutils.html"/>. Note that
better replacements are available for many of these servers.</para>
