I'm using CentOS 6.7 (Final) system, and when I try to run nc
in listening mode it prints the following:
# nc -l 1234
nc: Protocol not available
The port is not bound. I tried other port numbers too.
This bug seem to have been reported already: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1753753. Unfortunately it is not very detailed.
Package information:
Name : nc
Arch : x86_64
Version : 1.84
Release : 24.el6
Is there something else I need to try out?
