No netcat "-C" option under standard Linux distros and GNU netcat

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the nc_cmd uses the "-C" option for memcache info, but I do not see the option 
under Redhat, Debian nor the source code build of "GNU netcat"

Seems very peculiar, particular.

Hi,

The nc_cmd uses the "-C" option, but dont use the "-q1" option at CentOs 
Server. I modified ss_get_by_ssh.php

I have found on Ubuntu 11.04 that running "update-alternatives --config nc" as 
per instructions, but choosing /bin/nc.openbsd instead of /bin/nc.traditional 
gives me the nc -C option and the memcached graphs work fine.

I have attached the output of both commands for reference

Yes, that worked for me:

  apt-get install netcat-openbsd

Marking for migration / fixing in a new project.

This can be fixed by modifying the nc_cmd configuration option.
