Hm. Was thinking that we could remove the r* utilities, is
anyone actually using those?
Aside from the case of old machines that Debarshi mentioned, they
can still be useful in a small internal network environment where
all hosts (and the wire) can be trusted.
I find it easier to install lsh or ssh even on a small internal
network; then I can also just use a public key and ignore any annoying
password prompts...
In general, they have been around forever. I think it would be a
mistake to delete them. Hopefully they do not take much
maintenance effort at this point.
Ok, I'll leave them.
P.S. I removed the verbose four-line mailman footer for
bug-inetutils. If anyone really misses it, let me know :).
Lovley. Thank you. (just don't remove the [bug-inetutils] bit in the
subject, it is immensly useful :-)
