DESCRIPTION

dnetcat is a netcat(1) like tool that opens a DECnet connection and copies all data between the standard input/output to/from the socket.

OPTIONS

-v

Be verbose. Prints useful (debug) messages.

-z

-l

Listen mode. In this mode dnetcat accepts connections on the given object.

-f

Fork on new connection. This let netcat accept multiple connections in listen mode. This is ignored if -l is not given.

EXAMPLES

This program can be used as 'ProxyCommand' for ssh(1). You may use it via command line like this: ssh -o 'ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh' [...] mynode

or you may use it in your ~/.ssh/config like this: Host *:: ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh

This will enable you to connect to any DECnet node by adding "::" at the end of the node name like this: ssh mynode::
