I'm not sure how I'll fix this but it's definitely 'on the radar'. I'll
be talking about the fix when I have an idea of what we'll do on the
packetfence-devel list so if you want to have a voice in that change,
subscribe to the list (if you are not already).

I believe issues #1311, #1310, #917 and #840 are all somewhat related to
what I want to fix.

Making this the most expensive mistake a help desk personnel can make.
;) Deleting a node in port-security with an active locationlog record
means you must go in and log into the switch to remove the hardcoded MAC
from the port otherwise nothing will happen VLAN-change wise. There's a
reason why were are a bitch about the locationlog.
