Re: ncat-test.pl finally under control

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.

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

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.)
