Hi,I started implementing the support for UNIX-domainsockets for ncat.

Thanks for your efforts.  Does RedHat have a customer who needs thissupport or have you seen some other sign of demand?  Before we committo supporting a new (to Ncat/Nsock) interface, I want to be sure folkswill actually use it.  We shouldn't add it just because original ncsupported it back in 1996.  The networking landscape was a lotdifferent back then.Then again, I guess we did recently add Gopher support to Nmap :).But an NSE script is a lot less intrusive than this change would be.This question isn't just for Tomas.  If anyone else on nmap-dev thinksthey would personally use Ncat with UNIX domain sockets, please speakup and describe your usage scenarious.  I'd love to hear some neatthings that could be done with "ncat -U".  Then if we do implement it,we could add those usage examples to the Ncat User's Guide[1].Cheers,Fyodor[1]http://nmap.org/ncat/guide/index.html_______________________________________________Sent through the nmap-dev mailing listhttp://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-devArchived athttp://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
