%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Inetutils The Inetutils package contains network clients and servers. If you are building on an LFS platform, this package was installed during LFS and only the clients (telnet, ftp, etc.) were installed. These instructions allow you to install the server programs. Note that most of the Inetutils servers are insecure and should only be used on trusted networks. &lfs70_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &inetutils-md5sum; Download size: &inetutils-size; Estimated disk space required: &inetutils-buildsize; Estimated build time: &inetutils-time; Inetutils Dependencies Optional , , krb4, and User Notes: Install Inetutils by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-logger \ --disable-syslogd \ --disable-whois \ --disable-ifconfig \ --disable-hostname \ --disable-clients && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --disable-logger: This switch prevents Inetutils installing a logger program, which is installed in the LFS book. --disable-syslogd: This switch prevents Inetutils installing a system log daemon, which is installed in the LFS book. --disable-whois: This switch prevents Inetutils installing an outdated whois client. Add this option if you plan on installing . --disable-ifconfig: This switch prevents Inetutils from installing an ifconfig command. Use this parameter if you have Net-Tools installed and wish to keep its version of ifconfig. --disable-hostname: This switch prevents Inetutils from installing a hostname command. Use this parameter if you have the version of this program supplied by the either the Coreutils package or the Net-Tools package and wish to keep it. --disable-clients: This switch prevents Inetutils installing any of the client programs (most of which were build during LFS) and only installs the server programs. --with-wrap: This switch makes Inetutils compile against tcp-wrappers. Add this option if you want to utilize tcp-wrappers. --with-pam: This switch makes Inetutils link against Linux-PAM libraries. Add this option if you want to utilize PAM. --disable-servers: Some of the servers included with Inetutils are insecure in nature and in some cases better alternatives exist. You can choose this switch to enable only the servers you need, avoiding the installation of unneeded servers.
