In my testing of HIP, there is reference to use 'nc6' for a simple TCP character echo server. No such animal in Centos, and after a bit of digging I find this refers to Netcat6 which seems to be a dead app? Is it available as an rpm somewhere for Centos? My searching is coming up empty. Or just about any service that I can start on one system and connect from another that would perform this simple echo test.
nc on CentOS 6 has -4 and -6 options for this.
What rpm? I tried a 'yum whatprovides nc' and got nothing.
Is that a trick question? Try: yum info nc
'yum search nc' would be the first thing to try, but you have to sort through a lot of partial-match cruft.
