[Video guide *** How to connect virt-manager to unRAID to help manage your VMs **]

When trying to connect to UNRAID via ssh, after entering my password, I would keep getting the error that I have to use a version of netcat (nc) that supports the -U option.

 

Well, with the help of a Slackware 14.2 VM and the build instructions from @kode54 I was able to build the necessary components and install them. (I couldn't get it to compile on the UNRAID server itself despite installing the Dev Pack.)

 

Anyway, here are the two pre-compiled packages in case you want them. They work on my 6.8.3 version of UNRAID.

 

libbsd-0.10.0-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz 223.72 kB · 9 downloads netcat-openbsd-1.217_1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz 27.57 kB · 9 downloads

 

Rename your nc in /usr/bin/ to something else before installing the new one.

 

Install using:

installpkg libbsd-0.10.0-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

installpkg netcat-openbsd-1.217_1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

 

 

 

Thank you!

 

It is also working on the newest version 6.9.2.

netcat-openbsd by nerdpack (https://github.com/dmacias72/unRAID-NerdPack/blob/master/packages/6.9/netcat-openbsd-1.105-x86_64-2.tgz) is stucking after first WOL receive. Even with -w 1.

 

```

nc.openbsd -4 -vulkn -p 9 -w 1
Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 2, port 9)
������RT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iRT�iConnection closed, listening again.
```

 

This version is running smooth and still listening to new connections.

 

best regards
