Package: pidentd Version: 3.0.19.ds1-1 Severity: wishlist
Do not know if this is the right place where to report this, I hope so. I cannot see any reason why pidentd is installed and activated after a base system installation. It expose a port to internet for a commonly unused service, potentially disclosing sensitive information. It also cause inetd to be started. If you need it you can install it manually. A not running service cannot be exploited. I do not understand why this is always installed, and I propose to remove it from base system installation.
