no, as root.

yes, though I've copied all usr/bin, usr/sbin, and usr/srv/bin files
to a directory on a ram disk (mounted on /tmp). then, i create a soft
link from /usr to /tmp/usr, and /tmp/usr/sbin is a softlink to
/tmp/usr/bin. (I am doing this because I can't seem to mount ext2
floppys created on my redhat 6.2, but that's another story.)

i am root, and have tried nc -t. I get an Illegal option message also,
but am not sure it's "Illegal option -p" or Illegal option -u" or some
other option.
thanks again.
