Would it be worthwhile to make the perl scripts available without needing source code? Or is the reason it works because of ncat changes in SVN just as much as ncat-test.pl changes? Thanks. -Jason On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 8:11 PM, David Fifield<> wrote:
For a long time now, Ncat has had a test program called ncat-test.pl that checks various aspects of its operation for correctness, especially things like --deny and --allow that relate to security. For an almost equally long time, the test program has been mostly useless, because it contained for features that are not implemented and tests would randomly fail because of timing issues. All that has been sorted out, so you should try running ncat-test.pl and see if all the tests either PASS or XFAIL on your system. (XFAIL, expected fail, is for tests of features that should be implemented but are not yet.)
