>Description:
net/rwhois is confusing because it's actually the 'rwhoisd' package.

There is a 'rwhois' client that isn't represented in ports.

What kind of drama is involved to repurpose a port name? 
>How-To-Repeat:
obvious
>Fix:
 We should create 

net/rwhoisd  = rwhoisd server
net/rwhois   = rwhois client
