>Confidential:   no
>Severity:       serious
>Priority:       low
>Responsible:    pkg-manager
>State:          open
>Class:          change-request
>Submitter-Id:   net
>Arrival-Date:   Wed Oct 08 13:50:00 +0000 2008
>Originator:     Jörn Clausen
>Release:        
>Organization:
University of Bielefeld
>Environment:
>Description:
The packages libident (implementing RFC 1413) and qident (using this library) 
are placed in the directory "security". The ident protocol provides no form of 
security, and as far as I can see, these programs don't add any additional 
functionality that might enhance the protocol.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Move these packages to "net", joining alternative implementations fair-identd, 
nidentd and oidentd.
