I've browsed the sources for the FreeBSD version of these, and they are very
well documented. It looks like most of our other tools come from fBSD.
I haven't looked at the source, but maybe the OpenBSD versions would be a
better choice, simply because of the security, especially on the daemon
side. I would think that the NetBSD tools would share basicly the same
source as the OpenBSD project, as the two work very closely together.
It doesn't appear that a recent build of POSIX compliant network tools are
available from bebits. There's a really old ( > 2 years) build of the GNU
toolchain, though.
IANAL, but the GNU sources are probably out of the question, unless they are
provided in a seperate package.

Hi there,
I notice that there are almost no internet tools in our repository. I
think we should have ftp/telnet/ssh in our repository, and also include
their server daemons, and wget, too.
Do you have any preferences which source it should come from? Which of
those are available in current releases for BeOS?
Bye,
Axel.
