Because they are Unix tools, i.e. they do one thing and do it well. The netcat utility, as you say, has a 'server mode'. But clients and servers aren't the same thing. Yup, I went there: netcat is bloated. The real question is, why do the tcpsvd and udpsvd applets rely on sys/sysinfo.h ? The upstream programs at http://smarden.org/ipsvd/ do not. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
