Re: [coldsync-hackers] Netsync setup

["J\. Scott Hepler" <jscotth@vermontel.net>]

Yeah, I cooked up the netcat thing after banging my head against it for
awhile too.  I'm suspicious that it's some kind of a race condition in the
inetd/coldsync interaction, but don't know enough to track it down or prove
it (at least quickly!).  Anyway, if netcat binds the port, that pretty much
proves that nothing else is listening, eh?
