Tech-note: Solaris packaging of Netcat Index
What:
Minimalistic packaging of Hobbit's netcat utility (version 1.10) for the Solaris package system, running on a SPARC-based architecture. [Download NTLMnetcat-sparc.pkg]
Netcat is the de facto (TCP|UDP)/IP swiss-army knife for the Unix world.
Characteristics:
Does not mess up your directory permissions.
Installs only two files: the binary, /usr/bin/nc and a man page, /usr/share/man/man1/nc.1 (stolen from the Debian project).
Compiled with Sun One Studio Compiler.
Compiled for SPARCv1 instruction set.
Installation:
Download the package to a temporary directory.
Run pkgadd -d NTLMnetcat-sparc.pkg from that directory and select the package for installation.
