There is also ncat, which comes in the nmap package and is described as "a much-improved reimplementation of the venerable Netcat". This is what the OP is apparently using. He might also have nc aliased to ncat. I'd not previously come across the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability Pascal Hambourg mentions; the OP could consider doing (as root) setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/ncat as a solution to his problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
