We're totally agreed on that point. Authors of the scripts in question may be of the opinion that it works for them, and that any change will break it. You are then claiming that it can be fixed. Show me the fix that makes all of the netcat scripts out there in the wild 'just work'. > The rest of what you are yapping about does not matter. Could you qualify whether 'the rest of what you are yapping about' covers just this thread, or my subscription to -tech in general? If OpenBSD development is a closed shop, just tell me and I'll happily go back to working in isolation from the rest of you, as I have been for the last few years. > If you don't like > nc, don't use it. Do you think we care? Why should you? You really mis-understand my whole stance on this. -- Creamy
