The netkit-base package contains inetd and ping for Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inetd is the internet "super-server". inetd listens for network
|
|
|
|
|
connections and transfers to the appropriate daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this version of inetd is not built with internal libwrap
|
|
|
|
|
(TCP Wrappers) support. The separate tcpd software can be used;
|
|
|
|
|
tcpd is available in the security/tcp_wrappers package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ping is the standard network testing program. ping sends ICMP
|
|
|
|
|
ECHO_REQUEST packets to a host and determines its response time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
This package also includes assorted, sample network config files,
|
|
|
|
|
such hosts.allow, inetd.conf, resolv.conf, services, and many
