Huh!  Where exactly does it say so?  I cannot even find "error" in the
manpage to my nc (1.10-32 on a Debian system).  Actually this
statement is nonsense, -l tells netcat to "l"isten on a socket and -p
tells it the portnumber.  How exactly should one start netcat as a
listener without combining these options?

Please check the netcat that you have - maybe "nc" simply isn't netcat
on your system.  Sometimes the binary is called "netcat".

Cheers
  Detlev
