Hi,

I've create a port for authbind, and am unsure which category or 
categories to pick for it.

[pkg-desc]

Authbind allows a program which does not or should not run as root to
bind to low-numbered ports in a controlled way.

In most cases, you will probably want to use
mac_portacl(4) instead of authbind.

[pkg-desc]

My current choice of categories would be:
CATEGORY=	net security


What's the lists opinion on the main category and eventual secondary 
categories for this new port ?
