Bug Description
Binary package hint: netcat-openbsd
Netcat-openbsd does not echo response from xinetd UDP server to stdout. But netcat-traditional works OK as with TCP server.
Test case:
Install xinetd and enable the builtin services in /etc/xinetd.d/. Do the following:
$ /bin/nc.traditional -u localhost echo
hehe
hehe
haha
haha
^C
$ /bin/nc.openbsd -u localhost echo
hehe
$
Since in netcat-openbsd README.Debian, it says "Anything else that netcat-traditional does that this package doesn't is a bug." So I file this as a bug.
The version is 1.89-3ubuntu5 in Natty.
