- GNU inetutils version 1.0
-
- This is a distribution of common networking utilities and servers.
-
- They are currently all 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 remove some minor
- BSD dependencies. A GNU build environment has also been added.
-
- As this release is intended mainly to support the GNU hurd, which is
- source compatible with BSD in many ways, there are probably many BSD
- dependencies remaining.
-
- Some known deficiencies:
- o Most programs do not support long options, such as --version or --help.
- o The authentication and encryption options have not been tested.
-
- GNU inetutils requires GNU make.
-
- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
