(Ok ok boring subject...so sue me) Well, now let's take a look at the net/ subdirectory. This one is even bigger than utils/, however the majority seems to belong to the world-wide information sharing paradigm, chiefly www. The COMMENT files look like this: ==> archie/pkg/COMMENT <== archie - prospero client for the archie service ==> cern_httpd/pkg/COMMENT <== HTTPD (WWW) server from Cern (version 3.0) ==> cern_linemode/pkg/COMMENT <== WWW LineMode Browser from Cern (version 3.0) ==> chimera/pkg/COMMENT <== chimera - X/Athena World-Wide Web Client. Version 1.65 ==> dgd/pkg/COMMENT <== Dworkin's Generic Driver (network server) ==> fspclient/pkg/COMMENT <== fspclient - a client for the fsp service ==> gated/pkg/COMMENT <== GateD routing protocol daemon (version 3.5 Alpha 11) ==> gn/pkg/COMMENT <== GN gopher and http server, version 2.13 ==> gopher/pkg/COMMENT <== gopher - client and server for access to a distributed document service. ==> imm/pkg/COMMENT <== IMM - Internet Image Multicaster (and receiver) ==> irc/pkg/COMMENT <== ircd, the 'Internet Relay Chat' Server.

Version 2.4.1 BETA ==> mirror/pkg/COMMENT <== mirror - mirror packages on remote sites ==> moxftp/pkg/COMMENT <== Xftp ftp shell under X windows v 2.2 ==> ncftp2/pkg/COMMENT <== NcFTP 2.0.7 -- FTP replacement with advanced user interface ==> nv/pkg/COMMENT <== NV (MBONE video tool), version 3.3beta ==> pcnfsd/pkg/COMMENT <== pcnfsd(8) - Sun PC NFS authentication and printing server as of 93.02.16 ==> pidentd/pkg/COMMENT <== pidentd - a RFC1413 identification server, version 2.5.1 ==> pmf/pkg/COMMENT <== PMF (Padrone's Mud Frontend), version 1.13.1 ==> samba/pkg/COMMENT <== A LanManager(R)-compatible server suite for Unix ==> scotty/pkg/COMMENT <== scotty - network management extensions to tcl v1.2.0, patched to v1.2.2 ==> slirp/pkg/COMMENT <== SLuRP is a SLIP/CSLIP emulator for user with a shell accounts ==> sup/pkg/COMMENT <== This is CMU's Software Update Protocol package ==> tclDP/pkg/COMMENT <== tcl-dp - distributed processing extensions for tcl and Tk ==> tcp_wrapper/pkg/COMMENT <== This is the 7.2 version of the TCP/IP daemon wrapper package. ==> tcpblast/pkg/COMMENT <== This is the TCPBLAST program. ==> tintin++/pkg/COMMENT <== TINTIN++ v1.5pl6 is a client program to help playing muds. ==> tkWWW/pkg/COMMENT <== tkWWW version 0.12, a WWW client based on Tcl/Tk. ==> tkined/pkg/COMMENT <== tkined - a tk based network editor v 1.2.0, patched to v1.2.2 ==> vic/pkg/COMMENT <== vic (MBONE video tool), version 2.6 ==> wais/pkg/COMMENT <== freeWAIS 0.3 from CNIDR ==> wu-ftpd/pkg/COMMENT <== wu-ftpd is a replacement ftp server for Un*x systems. ==> wwwish/pkg/COMMENT <== wwwish - a Tk interpreter with WWW abilities ==> xarchie/pkg/COMMENT <== X11 front-end program for the archie network search service ==> xgopher/pkg/COMMENT <== XGopher 1.3.3 - a brown, furry creature for burroring through Gopherspace ==> yale-tftpd/pkg/COMMENT <== Enhanced tftpd(8) from Yale University and cisco Systems ==> ytalk/pkg/COMMENT <== ytalk-3.0pl2, a new "talk" that can talk to multiple parties at once ==> zircon/pkg/COMMENT <== Zircon, an X11 interface to Internet Relay Chat. According to these, I propose the following three new categories. infosystems: cern_httpd cern_linemode chimera gn gopher lynx tkWWW wais wwwish xgopher irc: irc ircII zircon muds: dgd dgd-lpmud pmf tintin++ The following should be left in net for now: archie fspclient gated imm ivs mirror moxftp ncftp2 nv pcnfsd samba scotty sup tclDP tkined vic wu-ftpd xarchie yale-tftpd ytalk And these should be moved to existing (or already agreed upon during the "utils" discussion) categories. security: pidentd tcp_wrapper benchmarks: tcpblast comm: slirp Opinions?
