Netutils This is a distribution of common network utilities and servers, and has been forked from GNU Inetutils. They are currently mostly from the 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution, with some changes to make them compatible with the GNU Hurd (in particular, the Hurd does not define some arbitrary limits, such as MAXPATHLEN), and to make them more portable, using autoconf. A GNU build environment has also been added. The GNU whois client reads a whois-servers file to figure out which whois server to use. It won't always pick the best server; whois.internic.net seems to know something about nic.ddn.mil, but the GNU whois client will use nic.ddn.mil to look up nic.ddn.mil if you use the configuration file we supply. Our configuration file probably also does not have a complete list of whois servers; feel free to send information about additional whois servers to the bug reporting address. There are probably many BSD dependencies remaining, but Netutils is believed to work on the following system types (and others may work): i486-pc-gnu i486-pc-linux-gnu x86_64-pc-linux-gnu i386-pc-freebsd7.0 m68k-hp-netbsd1.2 sparc-sun-netbsd1.2 The file `paths' contains a list of all paths used by programs in this distribution, and rules to find values for them. To change a path PATH_FOO, you may either tell configure, by using `--with-path-foo=VALUE' (where VALUE may contain references to make variables such as `$(bindir)'), or edit the `paths' file. If you wish to build only the clients or only the servers, you may wish to use the --disable-servers or --disable-clients options when invoking `configure'. You can also use --enable-<program> or --disable-<program> to control whether to build individual programs; if you explicitly specify whether to build a program, that will override the values specified by --disable-clients or --disable-servers. Notes: 1) All the manpages will be installed, regardless of which programs are built. The whois server list will also be installed. You can use `make install-exec' instead of `make install' if you do not want to install these files. 2) All of the r* commands clients, rcp, rlogin, rsh, need to be install setuid root to work correctly they use priviledge ports for communication. Some known deficiencies: o Many programs do not support long options, such as --version or --help. o The authentication and encryption options have not been tested. o Netutils does not work on Solaris. Patches to make Netutils work on Solaris are happily accepted. See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. Please send all bug reports to <bug-inetutils@gnu.org>.
