I like to just install nmap and use its ncat instead of having to install a separate netcat package. But I also figure nmap's ncat has features which other netcat implementations might not have. AFAIK other netcat packages usually install the binary 'nc', which doesn't conflict with nmap's ncat binary, so I'd just build it along. It's what other distros do as well I believe. (At least Debian; I adopted the nmap, ndiff, zenmap split from them.) Taylan
