Hi Anthony,
more power to you. Can we work it out that netbase can be installed on the
Hurd as well? If it ends up as a binary-all package, this might be a bit
difficult (because of /etc/init.d/networking), but I am sure we can get
to it. I can then drop the bits I have from netbase in the inetutils package
(update-inetd and such).
We can discuss this in private mail. Maybe other solutions are preferable,
but I want to make sure which case it is.
