    <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>--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>--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 installing an outdated 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>--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>
