be getting a HUP event from poll or EOF from read, etc and then

RPM at least one of which is related to nc hanging forever after
getting HUP fback from poll(). What distro are you using ?

I'm using Debian. I've already had to switch from the
"netcat-traditional" package to the "netcat-openbsd" package.
Debian does already include that patch, but what a mess...
Since already know libvirtd is installed on the remote host,
would it make sense to just add a new set of options:
libvirtd --socket-connect
libvirtd --socket-connect-ro
that do the same thing as "nc -U" on the appropriate socket?
Then we know it would work everywhere, and have the added
benefit that the client wouldn't need to know the location of the
socket.
