Bug Description

From: http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

"Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol.
It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities"

I recently had to determine whether there was a packet filter / access list in place since network verification failed on web interface and I wanted to make sure that a UDP datagram would make it if I sent it out manually on the correct VLAN. Netcat would provide a simple way to test this and is invaluable in debugging networking, similar to tcpdump, tcptraceroute, and other tools.

Please include the package "netcat-openbsd" in the bootstrap image to make this easier.
