config CONFIG_ADJTIMEX
bool "adjtimex"
default n
help

the Linux clock adjustment algorithm.
config CONFIG_CROND
bool "crond"
default n
help
Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_CALL_SENDMAIL
bool " Using /usr/sbin/sendmail?"
default n
depends on CONFIG_CROND
help
Support call /usr/sbin/sendmail for send cmd outputs.
config CONFIG_CRONTAB
bool "crontab"

Crontab manipulates the crontab for a particular user. Only
the superuser may specify a different user and/or crontab directory.
config CONFIG_DC
bool "dc"
default n
help
Dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
precision arithmetic.
config CONFIG_DUTMP
bool "dutmp"
default n
help
'dutmp' is a utility used by the Linux Router Project (as far as I
know nobody else uses it). It dumps the contents of the utmp file to
STDOUT with each field seperated by a colon. IP addresses are are
given in hex in native byte order. It is intended that this format
can then be parsed by shell scripts.
config CONFIG_HDPARM
bool "hdparm"
default n
help
Get/Set hard drive parameters. Primarily intended for ATA
drives. Adds about 13k (or around 30k if you enable the
CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option)....
config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
default y
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.
This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET
bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.
This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF
bool " tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
stuff, so you should probably say N.
config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
bool "makedevs"
default n
help
'makedevs' is a utility used and created by the Linux Router Project.
It creates a large number of device special files (/dev devices)
rather quickly, and can be considerably faster then running mknod a
zillion times.
config CONFIG_MT
bool "mt"
default n
help
Mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility
to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive
files on the tape.
config CONFIG_STRINGS
bool "strings"
default n
help
Strings prints the printable character sequences for each file
specified.
config CONFIG_TIME

When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
giving timing statistics about this program run.
config CONFIG_WATCHDOG
bool "watchdog"
default n
help
The watchdog utility is used with hardware or softwate watchdog
device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
