removing netcat

26 Jul 2005

      Does anyone remove netcat from their environment?

Our security team likes to have netcat removed from
SLES 9, however, the yast2 rpm depends on netcat. I am
interested to know what functionalities I may lose in
administrating the systems. I understand I will not be
able to use yast, but I think I can manually update
the config files, and do most of everything in command
line, right?

Thank you.
RBW
