+%description ncat
+Ncat is a feature packed networking utility which will read and
+write data across a network from the command line.  It uses both
+TCP and UDP for communication and is designed to be a reliable
+back-end tool to instantly provide network connectivity to other
+applications and users. Ncat will not only work with IPv4 and IPv6
+but provides the user with a virtually limitless number of potential
+uses.
