This is the Debian tracking bug for this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348564 We've since added the netcat-openbsd package to Debian and Ubuntu. Installing that package (on the remote machine, that is) will fix this issue. Ok, closing this WONTFIX on the grounds that there's a supportable way to make it work now. |
Description of problem: 'netcat -U' option is not supported by the Debian version of netcat. It appears that they use a 'netcat' which is based on a completely different codebase from the one in Fedora. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt from CVS Debian netcat 1.10 This is the problematic code in src/remote_internal.c: // Generate the final command argv[] array. // ssh -p $port [-l $username] $hostname $netcat -U $sockname [NULL] cmd_argv = malloc (nr_args * sizeof (char *)); if (cmd_argv == NULL) { error (NULL, VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR, strerror (errno)); goto failed; } j = 0; cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (command); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-p"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (port); if (username) { cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-l"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (username); } if (no_tty) { cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-T"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-o"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("BatchMode=yes"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-e"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("none"); } cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (server); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (netcat ? netcat : "nc"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup ("-U"); cmd_argv[j++] = strdup (sockname ? sockname : LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET) ; cmd_argv[j++] = 0;
