Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't I emerge telnet?
I just have a little script: $ cat /usr/local/sbin/up-x #!/bin/bash # # /usr/local/sbin/up-x # # Recompile X drivers etc. after kernel upgrade: # emerge -1 --jobs=5 --keep-going `qlist -IC x11-drivers` \ echo \ sh /usr/local/src/VirtualBox*run \ echo Makes life really simple, with hardly any typing. Very nice. BTW, you do not need to escape newlines after . echo Try echo This echo At echo Home || echo Or Not

It also supports three-way merges, which probably means it not only takes the current and the new version of a config file into account, but also old versions. Let's potentially add module-rebuild -X rebuild to the list of little gems that keep Gentoo systems happy when installing a new kernel. I don't know it stable portage already has this feature, but at least portage-2.2 has a set called module-rebuild. So I just do an emerge @modules-rebuild. Oh, and instead of emerge $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ ) one can use emerge @x11-module-rebuild. This one is needed when xorg-server was upgraded. Wonko

As others said there's more than one option, not forgetting netcat: nc -t address port However, you don't need to install anything if you don't want to, because busybox contains a telnet client and daemon. Just create a symlink from your /usr/local/bin/telnet to /bin/busybox: # ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/local/bin/telnet $ ls -la /usr/local/bin/telnet lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 30 12:24 /usr/local/bin/telnet - /bin/busybox $ telnet BusyBox v1.17.4 (2010-12-26 22:07:56 GMT) multi-call binary.

But I just wanted to make a note that a few of these programs are part of the gentoolkit package. Querying portage for revdep, equery, etc won't give you the package it belongs to.
