Telnet client is useful for troubleshooting, would it be included in some common net tools rpm? Couldn't readily find it.
Another cmdline tool I miss is whois.

You can find a telnet client on openrepos by NeilDK. Maybe he has whois also, there's a lot of tools
dig is much better than whois https://openrepos.net/content/nieldk/dig

I also find whois really useful, and it's one of the few utilities that is not available in NeilDK's excellent repo, so I compiled it myself. You can find it here on openrepos:

Current version is 5.2.9.
Enjoy!

I would add host and dig dnstools :).
Sailor ( 2013-12-30 00:47:27 +0300 )editYea, dig of course. Almost assumed it to be there :)
If the bootloader has a telnet server it would be just elegant to have a client :)
twi42 ( 2013-12-30 01:02:52 +0300 )editI would also like telnet, netcat and dig.
For hostname translations you can use this as "host" command substitute: getent ahosts jolla.com
penpen ( 2013-12-30 15:28:31 +0300 )edityou could alias host to this
