So what's wrong with my encrypted, Kerberos-enabled r* tools? BTW, I suspect that throwing thing into "ports" as a grave is not really the right answer. Keeping things in the CVS repo is fine, we can just disable them in the build, or relegate them to a "network compatibility" distribution or something. My understand is that ports is intended for maintaining and applying patches to software not maintained as part of our distribution or in our source repository. People need to distinguish between building/installing something by default, and the home of the source code.
