Description Peter Abrahamsen 2010-03-25 02:57:28 UTC

If net-misc/knock supported a 'minimal' USE flag, which would prevent compilation and installation of knockd, I could install the knock(1) binary on non-Linux systems, which do not have iptables. knock(1) also doesn't depend on libpcap.

Reproducible: Always
