Installation problem of Netcat in Debian ?
Posted by pankaj_it09 on Mon 26 Feb 2007 at 06:01
Hello,
I have installed netcat6 through Synaptic Package manager but when I fire the man command -->
man netcat
there is no such manual .
The following command also doesn't work -->
nc smtpserver 25
Please tell me what to do ?

The binary is called nc6, so the manpage can be read with "man nc6" - if you want just nc you should install the older netcat package.
Searching the list of files installed in the package will let you answer these type of questions yourself in the future.

Let me guess:
1. you're looking at my netcat audio abuse article (http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/145) where I give the example "nc smtpserver 25"
2. you chose nc6 because you figure it's gotta be version 6 of the old nc package, or something.
intrigued...

Your first guess is correct but not the second.
nc6 supports IPv6 and also UDP .
