Subject: [PATCH 14/14] netconsole.txt: revision of examples for the receiver of kernel messages

From: Dirk Gouders <gouders@...bocholt.fh-gelsenkirchen.de>

There are at least 4 implementations of netcat with the BSD-based
being the only one that has to be used without the -p switch to
specify the listening port.

Jan Engelhardt suggested to add an example for socat(1).

-The remote host can run either 'netcat -u -l -p <port>',
-'nc -l -u <port>' or syslogd.
+The remote host has several options to receive the kernel messages,
+for example:
+
+1) syslogd
+
+2) netcat
+
+   On distributions using a BSD-based netcat version (e.g. Fedora,
+   openSUSE and Ubuntu) the listening port must be specified without
+   the -p switch:
+
+   'nc -u -l -p <port>' / 'nc -u -l <port>' or
