Hi,

net/tacacs+ shows its age, the md5 code uses "long" as if it was 32
bits, which probably doesn't fly on amd64.  DES supports relies on
crypt(3), which our libc doesn't support.  End result: I was not able to
perform a single successful auth with Authen::TacacsPlus.  Also the
logging code suffers from at least one stack overflow.  So afaics the
current port is unusable.

Our current port already needs patches to build with clang, along with
getpwnam_shadow & LP64 stuff (not all of them are fixed).  Quite
a maintenance burden.

So I propose to just delete this port for now.  If people are actually
interested in tacacs+ support, they can still propose a new port based
on the newer, much cleaner releases published by the folks at
shrubbery.net.

ok to kill it?
