--enable-ftpd N/A
Wouldn't hurt to have a simple ftpd there, but we don't really need it, we have bftpd, proftpd, vsftpd, ...
--enable-inetd Could replace xinetd
Is it compatible with xinetd's configuration? If not, I would be careful!
--enable-rexecd Could replace netkit-rsh
--enable-rlogind Could replace netkit-rsh
--enable-rshd Could replace netkit-rsh
I'm fine with all of those (actually, I don't use them).
--enable-syslogd Could replace sysklogd partially : syslogd
We need neither sysklogd nor syslogd, syslog-ng is superior.
--enable-talkd N/A --enable-telnetd Could replace netkit-telnet
--enable-tftpd Could replace netkit-tftp (a xinet daemon) Could replace tftp-hpa (a rc.d daemon)
--enable-uucpd N/A
--enable-ftp Could replace netkit-ftp
All of the above are fine with me.
--enable-ping Could replace iputils partially : ping
--enable-ping6 Could replace iputils partially : ping6
iputils is still maintained, right? In that case, we keep iputils.
--enable-rcp Could replace netkit-rsh
--enable-rlogin Could replace netkit-rsh
--enable-rsh Could replace netkit-rsh
Fine with me!
--enable-logger Could replace util-linux-ng partially : logger
No, util-linux-ng is still maintained. Unless this logger has more capabilities.
--enable-talk N/A
--enable-telnet Could replace netkit-telnet (a xinet daemon)
--enable-tftp Could replace netkit-tftp Could replace tftp-hpa
--enable-whois Could replace whois
Do it.
--enable-ifconfig Could replace net-tools partially : ifconfig
Hmm, I'd keep this as well.
Point A) If we decide to not replace parts of packages in the repo, then we disable syslogd, ping, ping6, logger and ifconfig. Point B) From Greg comments in FR, we should keep the current xinetd (best inet implementation) and whois (actively maintained) standalone packages. So we disable inetd and whois.
I agree with both.
uucpd: I don't know what it does. Do we add it?
It's no extra work, just --enable-xxx in this package: I'd say yes, someone will probably need it.
