I perfectly agree with you, both on fun and curiosity. Nevertheless, not all the times we have got time enough "to have fun netcatting servers". More than often u just have to go straight to the point. Btw, try these with (net)cat: $ lynx saveddocument.html $ pdftohtml -stdout -i manual.pdf | lynx -stdin > lynx removal does not compare to this. Actually it does on a user viewpoint: a server daemon is up 24/7 while a client is activated by the user. For the server, insecurity comes mainly from its own flaws, for the client danger does not mainly come from the tool itself (unless it's a totally hopeless sw) but from the *potentially* silly utilization which is done by the user. > Then you're on the wrong Operating System. OpenBSD is secure by default. If lynx had the tiniest chance of compromising your system, then I'm glad it's gone. So it looks like that, till some months ago, everybody here was on the wrong OS and risking their lives, as lynx was in base! But I have never read here about anybody who had his system compromised because of poor lynx. So, right now, this deletion reflects more a "what if" worry than a real threat, i.e. lynx <> shellshock.
