Comment (by Schamschula):

 Replying to [comment:11 SaintBol]:
 > Some GNU inetutils tools are probably out of date (whois, already
 provided by either Apple whois or whois port which is up to date) or
 irrelevant (traceroute and ping/ping6, which lack SUID anyway, but also
 ifconfig, hostname, dnsdomainname, logger). In summary it would probably
 be safe to limit inetutils to what is usable in Darwin.

 You missed tftp. I'll add this for High Sierra, but will give users a
 choice to install everything.

 BTW: I would not be so sure about Apple's tools being up to date. Most of
 Apple's tools are frozen at the time of the release GPL 3, with some
 security patches applied since, timely or not.
