   <title>Introduction to Inetutils</title>

    <para>The <application>Inetutils</application> 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 <application>Inetutils</application> servers are
    insecure and should only be used on trusted networks.</para>

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>--disable-logger</parameter>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> installing a <command>logger</command>
    program, which is installed in the LFS book.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-syslogd</parameter>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> installing a system log daemon, which is
    installed in the LFS book.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-whois</option>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> installing an outdated
    <command>whois</command> client. Add this option if you plan on installing
    <xref linkend="whois"/>.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-ifconfig</option>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> from installing an
    <command>ifconfig</command> command. Use this parameter if you have
    <application>Net-Tools</application> installed and wish to keep its version
    of <command>ifconfig</command>.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-hostname</option>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> from installing a
    <command>hostname</command> command. Use this parameter if you have
    the version of this program supplied by the either the
    <application>Coreutils</application> package or the
    <application>Net-Tools</application> package and wish to keep it.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-clients</parameter>: This switch prevents
    <application>Inetutils</application> installing any of the client programs
    (most of which were build during LFS) and only installs the server
    programs.</para>

    <para><option>--with-wrap</option>: This switch makes
    <application>Inetutils</application> compile against
    <application>tcp-wrappers</application>. Add this option if you want to
    utilize <application>tcp-wrappers</application>.</para>

    <para><option>--with-pam</option>: This switch makes
    <application>Inetutils</application> link against
    <application>Linux-PAM</application> libraries.
    Add this option if you want to utilize PAM.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-servers</option>: Some of the servers included with
    <application>Inetutils</application> 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.</para>
