This is a backwards-incompatibility in netcat-openbsd introduced due to bumping the netcat version to 1.130 in a72ba661acf54d1beb2b4e306acba7d6f45621c4. Version 1.130 no longer exits on EOF but now needs to be passed the -N flag in order to exit on EOF. The upstream change reads[1] like this: Don't shutdown nc(1)'s network socket when stdin closes. Matches *Hobbit*'s original netcat and GNU netcat; revert to old behaviour with the new -N flag if needed. After much discussion with otto deraadt tedu and Martin Pelikan. ok deraadt@ Here is the diff of this change: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/nc/netcat.c.diff?r1=1.110&r2=1.111&f=h [1]: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/nc/netcat.c?rev=1.111&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
