https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294334 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |Works As Intended CC| |des@FreeBSD.org Status|New |Closed --- Comment #1 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> --- This is intentional: netcat is designed to try any number of addresses and ports until one succeeds (for instance, if you give it a host name which resolves to multiple addresses) and there is no correct answer to the question of which error(s) to report in such a scenario: all, or just one? If just one, which one? What if one is more significant than the others? etc. Use the -v option if you want explicit error messages for every failed operation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
