--- Comment #20 from Robert Scheck <redhat-bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
Ncat is a similar tool to netcat provided by Nmap suite. The first netcat
implementation (by *Hobbit*) claims to be "nc" if you lookup the old sources.
Red Hat decided a couple of years ago to retire the OpenBSD netcat
implementation and make /usr/bin/nc a symlink to nmap-ncat. In order to provide
some backwards compatibility, I did not claim "nc" exclusively.

I'm not really sure what you would like to say with your comment #19, because
e.g. sendmail provides `sendmail` and `sendmail.sendmail`, while postfix
provides `sendmail` and `sendmail.postfix`, where `sendmail.postfix` is treated
as drop-in replacement, while it actually is not, either...they just share some
common options.
