'make menuconfig' results which cause bug

I just tried to build with RPC disabled, and got the following error. I'm not sure why it was trying to build netkit-base - perhaps because I was building netkit-telnet. It should certainly be possible to build a telnet client, and probably possible to build a telnet server, without RPC. My .config is attached.

--- Comment #1 from Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <[email protected]> 2009-09-18 22:38:12 UTC --- I'd suggest you use busybox' telnet client.

--- Comment #2 from Peter Korsgaard <[email protected]> 2009-09-19 07:50:00 UTC --- Thanks. There was a missing kconfig dependency on netkitbase - Fixed in git (f5239c327e3). I agree with Bernhard though, unless you have very specific reasons to use netkittelnet I would very much suggest you use the busybox telnet(d) applets instead.

--- Comment #3 from Seth LaForge <[email protected]> 2009-09-19 15:37:17 UTC --- Perhaps the netkit-telnet help should mention that recommendation, then? I didn't realize that busybox had a telnetd implementation, so thanks for mentioning it!
