I agree. FWIW, we bundled netcat in with Mac OS X's base distribution in Panther. I got a lot of requests for it before that and it's already come in handy several times, so I don't regret the decision at all. FreeBSD would benefit from having it in the base system. - Jordan On Jan 26, 2005, at 4:14 AM, Robert Watson wrote: > It's always surprised me netcat isn't in the base system -- it's a very > useful testing tool. > -- Jordan K.
