The current netcat/kernel/??? which I have decides to terminate as soon as one of the two transfer directions closes. As one usually only ever copies files in one direction at a time, this makes it impossible to read /dev/null in the unneeded direction, which in turn makes it impossible to background the job ("tty read - suspended"). Very irritating. Can anyone think of some trick to restore previous behaviour? There's /dev/null and /dev/zero, but no /dev/readnothingnoteven-EOF.
Thanks,
