Dear folks,

A recent glance at OpenBSD indicates that they have an excellent
re-written of nc(1), also known as "netcat" that is very handy for
system administrators.  The OpenBSD version of nc is licensed under
the BSD License.

While there may be some concerns about the potential security affects
of it, I think it might be good if we have it in our base system, or
in ports.

Although it is really old, there is a port (/usr/ports/net/obnc). It would be nice to have it in base since it is a good building block for scripts.
