This is why I put forward a motion to move pidentd out of security and
into net / sysutils last year. The suggestion wasn't well received, but
I still think it'd help. I'd also like for the DESCR file for the port
to say:

	"This service offers remote users some identity to report back
	 to the local admin when complaining about abuse / break-ins
	 originating from the local host."

Ciao,
Sheldon.
