  <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 will prevent
    <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 installing an outdated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 will prevent
    <application>Inetutils</application> 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>--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>
