Yes, that works for me. Further, this works when run from a different machine on the same network: echo "UDP broadcast" \ | socat - UDP4-DATAGRAM:255.255.255.255:29531,so-broadcast Examining the packets as they are captured by tcpdump, both the ones NC sees and the ones it doesn't, I don't find anything unusual. No checksum or length errors, for example. And comparing them to the one generated by socat doesn't reveal any obvious significant difference, either. -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
