%general-entities; ]> Inetutils Not all programs that come with Inetutils will be installed. However, the Inetutils build system will insist on installing all the man pages anyway. The following patch will correct this situation: patch -Np1 -i ../&inetutils-man_pages-patch; One of the source files is missing a header. Add it with the following command: sed -i "1i\#include <stdlib.h>" libicmp/icmp_timestamp.c Prepare Inetutils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \ --localstatedir=/var --disable-logger --disable-syslogd \ --disable-whois --disable-servers --disable-logger This option prevents Inetutils from installing the logger program, which is used by scripts to pass messages to the System Log Daemon. Do not install it because Util-linux-ng installs a better version later. --disable-syslogd This option prevents Inetutils from installing the System Log Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package. --disable-whois This option disables the building of the Inetutils whois client, which is out of date. Instructions for a better whois client are in the CBLFS book. --disable-servers 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 CLFS system. Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package: make install Move the ping and ping6 programs to their FHS-compliant place: mv -v /usr/bin/ping{,6} /bin Installed programs ftp, ifconfig, ping, ping6, rcp, rlogin, rsh, talk, telnet, and tftp Short Descriptions ftp Is the file transfer protocol program ftp ifconfig Utility for configuring network interfaces ifconfig ping Sends echo-request packets and reports how long the replies take. This is the IPV4 version ping ping6 Sends echo-request packets and reports how long the replies take. This is the IPV6 version ping6 rcp Performs remote file copy rcp rlogin Performs remote login rlogin rsh Runs a remote shell rsh talk Is used to chat with another user talk telnet An interface to the TELNET protocol telnet tftp A trivial file transfer program tftp
