    Hi,
    I'm new to moebius.
    I was actually looking for a light OS for raspberry pi and found the latter.

    While using nc (netcat) command, it looks like the version that moebius is using does not have all the options that I have on my ubuntu laptop.
    I'm actually looking for the option -l and -k. The latter doesn't exist ?!

    Could someone help me or do you perhaps use another command line?
    I'm trying to listen continuously on a network port.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yoshi

    It's not a problem, I guess there's something in my forums configuration that is weird because I need to approve each single anonymous message even if I have manually set to allow posting from everyone.
    nc (netcat) supplied without external packages is contained inside busybox, you have a working version but probably few flags are missing. I need to compile NC from sources and publish it, I'll do few checks this evening and I'll let you know here.

    Just for info,
    with the current version of nc, while listening to a specific port: nc -l 50000 (for example),
    the port is not being opened... I (checked via nmap on the client sending messages) suppose after compilation, it should be ok :)

    Compiled and ready.
    I didn't tested it yet but I have pushed nc in the repo, just apt-get update and there you go.
    This is not the busybox builtin nc, it's the full netcat package. Let me know how it goes

    Hi Andrea,
    Thanks for the quick implementation,
    It's working fine ;)
    The only thing is that the option -k (keep listening) is not part of the netcat-traditional package (only part of the netcat-openbsd package) but I'll try to manage without, no worries.

    Thanks for your assistance anyway ;)
    Yop

    I'm glad you like it, I always need feedback from you to improve it, the biggest problem here is the lack of an huge repository, this will never be a general purpose distro (no desktop, no fancy packages) like raspbian because it's more oriented on "server"/services and small appliances.
