The Inetutils package contains network clients and servers. Inetutils installation in LFS lacks installation of the various servers that are included in the package. The instructions in BLFS removes this deficiency.

Install Inetutils by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-syslogd \
--libexecdir=/usr/sbin --infodir=/usr/share/info \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-wrap &&
make &&
make install &&
mv /usr/bin/ping /bin |
--disable-syslogd: This switch prevents Inetutils installing a System Log Daemon, which is installed in the LFS Book.
--with-wrap: This switch makes Inetutils compile against tcp-wrappers. Omit this option if you didn't install tcp-wrappers.
--disable-whois: This switch will prevent Inetutils installing a WhoIs client, since the included whois client is out of date. Add this option if you plan on installing Whois-4.6.7.
--with-pam: This switch makes Inetutils compile against for Linux-PAM . Add this option if you want to utilize PAM.
--disable-servers: Some of the servers included with Inetutils are insecure in nature and in some cases better alternative exist. You can choose this switch and enable only the servers you want to avoid installing unneeded servers.
