[RFC] netstd
Recently, I was looking into removing rshd from my computer (ssh has the
functionality that I need, and provides compatabiliy with rsh).
However, I noticed this:
11:46pm $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/ftp
netstd: /usr/bin/ftp
11:47pm $ dpkg -S rshd
...
netstd: /usr/sbin/in.rshd
If I removed rshd, I would lose /usr/bin/ftp (and several other useful
thigns, like in.fingerd).
Now, I can obviously just comment out the offending lines in /etc/inetd.conf
but this is much more error-prone than dpkg -r.
Does anyone else think that this is a problem?
