Some picky stuff in inetutils 1.5. First, I suggest that ifconfig be installed in $(sbindir) instead of $(bindir). It seems like nearly the canonical example of an sbin program.
Second, stuff about --version: 1) the first line of the ping --version output is: ping - GNU inetutils 1.5 For consistency with everything else, I think it would be better as: ping (GNU inetutils) 1.5 2) tftp doesn't accept --version or --help. 3) whois --version output is nonstandard: Version 1.5. 3a) Also, whois --version says: Report bugs to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. The bug reporting address should be in --help, and it seems odd to have a special address for whois. 4) talk and rlogin --version say: ... (GNU inetutils 1.5) The ) should be after inetutils, not after 1.5. 5) everything's --version except ping and ping6 does not report licensing information. Third, stuff about --help: 1a) ping and ping6 --help don't have the single-line description. I suggest something like "Send network packet(s).". 1b) talk --help likewise. Maybe something like: Start talk session with local or remote user in current tty. 1c) whois --help likewise. Maybe something like: Look up Internet domain registration information. 2) rlogin --help starts with "Rlogin". We're not supposed to capitalize program names in GNU purely for English. In any case, there's no need to repeat the program name at all: Start a terminal session on a remote host. is enough. Also, there's a typo in the current text -- "host host". I wonder about mentioning something about the r-commands' lack of encryption. 3) rcp --help doesn't use the standard format.
