Description of problem: nc 1.82 in fc4 doesn't do a setsockopt(..., SO_REUSEADDR, ...) so, for example, if you've get nc setup to listen (nc -l localhost 8080) and you ^D out of it after a connection, you have to wait for the socket to timewait 60 seconds before you can start another nc listener. The original 1.10 version did a SO_REUSEADDR and then had an ifdef to use SO_REUSEPORT if that was available (with a comment that SO_REUSEPORT wasn't available everywhere.) The 1.82 source (an openbsd modified/rewritten version apparently?) only does a SO_REUSEPORT. So maybe an upstream portability issue or RH needs to patch for SO_REUSEADDR instead?
Correct, fixed in rawhide
