Hey there,

as per the contributor guidelines I'm letting you know that I
submitted a PR on Github. It's a trivial change, doubling the key
length of the private key that is generated when you use '--ssl' in
ncat without specifying your own key and certificate.

In the latest version of Debian Unstable, OpenSSL does not accept
certificates using such a short key of 1024 bit. So I suggest making
it 2048.

Cheers,

Adrian
