Please remove it from security, > it is an ACCOUNTING protocol at best, and utter horse-shit at worse. > But even a shitty authentication tool is a security tool... excuse me, let me whisper :-) :-) :-) it's not an authentication tool, I said accounting. it is not inteded for authentication or security. it should not be in this section of the repository it should not even be in the repository (imho) because people make mistakes like this.
