Thanks, Brandon.

I agree, though it is important to note that Nmap still uses "auth" as
the name of the service.  But Nmap also calls port 53 "domain" even
though our script prefix is "dns".  So there is precedent for this
sort of inconsistency.  I'm still tempted to change "domain" to "dns"
in nmap-services someday.

Your other suggestions sound good to me too!

If you don't get any takers, I hope you go for it!
