Comment 1 Chris Hutchinson 2021-04-06 18:30:17 UTC 
Would you mind holding off on this?
I wasn't aware of this port, and have a use for it.
So I'd like to fix and adopt this pots within the
week if you don't mind.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

We have several alternatives in ports such as oidentd, fakeident etc that are still maintained, instead of keeping abandonware can you please consider moving on?
Comment 3 Chris Hutchinson 2021-04-07 21:19:43 UTC 
(In reply to daniel.engberg.lists from comment #2)
Sure. While I haven't investigated the alternatives.
That seems reasonable. If I discover the others aren't quite what I
require. I suppose I could always reintroduce this one. ;-)

Feel free to continue removing this.

Thanks! :-)
