On my CentOS firewall at home I use the following as part of a script that gets a list of local subnets from the IS local route server:

Code:
echo -e "terminal length 0\nshow ip bgp\nexit" | /usr/bin/nc route-server.is.co.za 23

This used to work fine for years until recently. If I run the above now all I get is this:

Code:
ÿûÿûÿýÿýC

If I telnet to route-server.is.co.za and type the commands in the quotes manually they work fine. I do not understand why the above suddenly stopped working as I have been using it succesfully for years. I also tested this on other linux boxes at work and the result is the same. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
