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"
