Description Michael Leuchtenburg 2004-04-08 21:24:19 UTC 
Netcat is not built with -DTELNET, which would provide the commandline option -t to make it support telnet options responding - a useful feature, especially for those who don't also want a telnet server, which is required to get telnet on gentoo.

It's easy to fix. Probably doesn't need a local USE flag, as there are no disadvantages to having it, other than a slight increase in the size of the binary.

Reproducible: Always

110-r5 adds -DTELNET to the compile flags
