Hi,
I am using Openbsd 4.4 GENERIC#1021 and nc to check if a port is open or
not. The command I use is
# /usr/bin/nc -z -w 2 192.168.1.10 80
The command works fine if 192.168.1.10 is up, but if ip is non existing it
takes about 1m15sec to exit.
# time /usr/bin/nc -v -z -w 2 192.168.3.96 80
nc: connect to 192.168.3.96 port 80 (tcp) failed: Connection timed out
1m14.99s real 0m0.00s user 0m0.00s system
Help says -w is timeout for connects and final net reads, so nc should exit
after 2 seconds, and it does exit when tested under linux, but not under
openbsd.
Am i doing some thing wrong or is this a bug in nc ?
