>Description:
netcat compiles with -ltls (currently commented out), which is not in base, but openssl is.  It looks pretty trivial to support SSL via OpenSSL in netcat.

What I don't know is if netcat is being tracked as a part of OpenSSH.  If that's the case, it might be better to leave it as is..
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
the crypto is currently #ifdef'd out.  One could leave the tls stuff in, but #else if defined CRYPTO_OPENSSL to add the OpenSSL stuff -- that way no one would lose the libtls stuff if they are currently using it.
