Package: netcat-openbsd
Version: 1.105-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
According to the manpage, -U with -u should use unix dgram sockets, but
there's a check disallowing these two flags to be mixed. Simply disabling
that check makes it work -- I tested it with wpa_supplicant's control socket.
I'm attaching a patch which fixes that.
