Package: whois
Version: 4.7.4
Severity: normal

whois currently queries whois.ncst.ernet.in for .in domainnames, however
that doesn't listen to the whois port anymore.

For me, whois.registry.in works, I suggest that should be used as the
default server for .in.

(Perhaps an external config file should be used for this data, instead
of it being compiled in?)

BTW, _why_ is mkpasswd part of the whois package? What possible relation
do those have with each other? I couldn't find any explanation in e.g.
the README.
