[ddp] whois : the GNU whois client

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package whois, which is part
of the net section, and maintained by Marco d'Itri <md at linux.it>. 

This package contains : the GNU whois client.

This is a new whois (RFC 3912) client rewritten from scratch.
It is inspired from and compatible with the usual BSD and RIPE whois(1)
programs.
It is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate whois
server for most queries.

The package also contains mkpasswd, a simple front end to crypt(3).
