Digital Pathways, Inc., former producer of the "SecureNet Key" one-time
password tokens (ANSI X9.9 and siblings?), was a number of years ago
purchased by Axent, who renamed the tokens "Defender."  Axent has in turn
recently been purchased by Symantec.  Symantec has discontinued the
snkey/defender tokens in favor of a new proprietary system that locks users
into also buying their $erver $oftware.

It is not surprising that domains from 2 or 3 corporate takeovers ago have
been allowed to lapse, and have subsequently been picked up by
pornographers.  It's also not surprising that 4 year+ old email addresses
have gone lame.

A proper sendbug report with patches would probably help with man page changes.
