Dear All,

IPFire has nmap/ncat as an addon which is under ongoing development.

I have noticed that we also have gnu-netcat as an addon, which was last updated in 2004.

Do we need to have gnu-netcat from 2004 when we have nmap/ncat.


If the decision is that we don't need it then I would raise a patch to remove it from IPFire.


Regards,

Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

If I remember this correctly, we have gnu-netcat because libvirtd only works with that one.

Jonatan might now. I copied him in the hope he will see this email.

Hi *,

In my memories, it was the other way around.  We have and ncat for libvirtd because gnu-netcat doesn’t support sockets. So I am fine with dropping this.
