Package: scli
Version: 0.3.1-3.1
Severity: normal

Hi!

While manual page states that scli tries to connect using UDP by
default, strace shows that it tries to connect using TCP first (and
UDP if this fails):

socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(161),
sin_addr=inet_addr("172.16.101.106")}, 16^C <unfinished ...>

This is cumbersome because SNMP over TCP is really uncommon and
firewall may just drop those packets and the user will have to wait
for the timeout to get a prompt.
