Caveats
Only the following commands have been installed without the prefix 'g'.
dnsdomainname
ftp
rcp
rexec
rlogin
rsh
telnet
If you really need to use other commands with their normal names,
you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc like:
PATH="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/inetutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
