Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-8 Followup-For: Bug #146464
This future is a convenient way to have simple network conneciton in a very portable manner (solaris,HP-UX,most linux distros, cygwin). It doesn't hurt security as if a hacker gets to a shell at all, you are in a big trouble anyway. There is already a tool doing better is no argument to me as we have hundreds programs with common features. Could you at least provide an alternative package for those needing the feature? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 4 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
