<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-syslogd</userinput>: This option

installed with the Sysklogd package.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-logger</userinput>: This option
|
|
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

the building of the inetutils whois client, which is woefully out of date.

Instructions for a better whois client are in the BLFS book.</para></listitem>

<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>
