Hi all,
from the bash manpage:
/dev/tcp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port
is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a TCP connection to the corresponding socket.
/dev/udp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port
is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a UDP connection to the corresponding socket.
But this feature doesn't work on debian systems (on other distributions
it works and is not a problem).
For this feature there are several scripts and tools around which use
this feature. Moreover if you want to make a net boot image where you
need to contact a other host easy there is no way to do this with debian
Linux so I have to switch to an other distribution like RedHat or even
Susi^He.
The related bug report is tagged as wontfix (146464) but this is absolute
not reasonable.
Best wishes
Klaus Ethgen
