Package: wnpp Severity: normal The current maintainer of socat, Thomas Seyrat <tomas...@debian.org>, is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

Data channels may be files, pipes, devices (terminal or modem, etc.), or sockets (Unix, IPv4, IPv6, raw, UDP, TCP, SSL). It provides forking, logging and tracing, different modes for interprocess communication and many more options. . It can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon), as an external socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets, as an IPv6 relay, as a netcat and rinetd replacement, to redirect TCP-oriented programs to a serial line, or to establish a relatively secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell scripts inside network connections.
