Since there is no indication that the authors will update this program, I'm thinking of either: 1. Remove this port from the tree. 2. Instead of marking this port FORBIDDEN, modify this port to ask the users if they want to proceed the build and the installation with some warning at make build time, and then again at make install and pkg_add. Since there seem to be more than just a few users, I'd like to take the latter alternative unless there is strong objection. As this program is intended for use within the local networks, I think it can be used securely if administrators carefully configure their systems (using wrapper, etc.) Any comment is appreciated.
