+prevents inetutils from installing the logger program, which is used by
+scripts to pass messages to the System Log Daemon. We do not install it
+because Util-linux installs a better version later.</para></listitem>

+<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-whois</userinput>: This option disables

+<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-servers</userinput>: 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/stable/basicnet/inetutils.html"/>. Note that better
+replacements are available for many of these servers.</para></listitem>
