  18. <listitem><para><userinput>--disable-syslogd</userinput>: This option
  19. prevents inetutils from installing the System Log Daemon, which is
  20. installed with the Sysklogd package.</para></listitem>
  21. <listitem><para><userinput>--disable-logger</userinput>: This option
  22. prevents inetutils from installing the logger program, which is used by
  23. scripts to pass messages to the System Log Daemon. We do not install it
  24. because Util-linux installs a better version later.</para></listitem>
  25. <listitem><para><userinput>--disable-whois</userinput>: This option disables
  26. the building of the inetutils whois client, which is woefully out of date.
  27. Instructions for a better whois client are in the BLFS book.</para></listitem>
  28. <listitem><para><userinput>--disable-servers</userinput>: This disables the
  29. installation of the various network servers included as part of the Inetutils
  30. package. These servers are deemed not appropriate in a basic LFS system. Some
  31. are insecure by nature and are only considered safe on trusted networks. More
  32. information can be found at
  33. <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/stable/basicnet/inetutils.html"/>. Note that better
  34. replacements are available for many of these servers.</para></listitem>
