The aim of mod_wsgi is to implement a simple to use Apache module which can
host any Python application which supports the Python WSGI interface.

Pwauth is an authenticator designed to be used with mod_auth_external or
mod_authnz_external and the Apache HTTP Daemon to support reasonably secure web
authentication out of the system password database on most versions of Unix.

What pwauth actually does is very simple. Given a login and a password, it
returns a status code indicating whether it is a valid login/password or not.
It is normally installed as an suid-root program, so other programs (like
Apache or a CGI program) can run it to check if a login/password is valid even
though they don't themselves have read access to the system password database.

USEFUL for apache2-mod_authnz_external and apache2-mod_authz_unixgroup.

NOTE: Automatically created during Factory devel project migration by admin.

withlock is a locking wrapper script to make sure that some program isn't run more than once. It is ideal to prevent periodic jobs spawned by cron from stacking up.

The locks created are valid only while the wrapper is running, and thus will never require a cleanup, as after a reboot. Thus, the wrapper is safe and easy to use, and much better than implementing half-hearted locking within scripts.

fsvs is a backup/archival-tool, which uses subversion backends for
storage. This means that previous versions of all files are
available in case of hardware problems, data loss, virus infections,
user problems etc.

fsvs is used to take snapshots of the current machine and restore
them; all advanced operations (taking diffs, merging, etc.) should
be done via some repository browser.

This project provides the Spread Toolkit, languages bindings and applications.

multicast httpd logs to spread

Spread is an open source toolkit that provides a high performance messaging service that is resilient to faults across local and wide area networks. Spread functions as a unified message bus for distributed applications, and provides highly tuned application-level multicast, group communication, and point to point support. Spread services range from reliable messaging to fully ordered messages with delivery guarantees.

Spread can be used in many distributed applications that require high reliability, high performance, and robust communication among various subsets of members. The toolkit is designed to encapsulate the challenging aspects of asynchronous networks and enable the construction of reliable and scalable distributed applications.

Spread consists of a library that user applications are linked with, a binary daemon which runs on each computer that is part of the processor group, and various utility and demonstration programs.

Some of the services and benefits provided by Spread:
* Reliable and scalable messaging and group communication.
* A very powerful but simple API simplifies the construction of distributed architectures.
* Easy to use, deploy and maintain.
* Highly scalable from one local area network to complex wide area networks.
* Supports thousands of groups with different sets of members.
* Enables message reliability in the presence of machine failures, process crashes and recoveries, and network partitions and merges.
* Provides a range of reliability, ordering and stability guarantees for messages.
* Emphasis on robustness and high performance.
* Completely distributed algorithms with no central point of failure.

a replacement to log_writer

This program serves as an interface for network sockets for use in both
shell scripts and manually from the command line. In contrast to
netcat, it handles EOF in a way so, for example, tar archives can
easily be transferred. See the man page (man 1 sock) for more details.

Example:

host1 # sock -l :7777 > file host2 # cat file | sock host1:7777

host1 # sock -l :7777 | tar xvzfp - host2 # tar czfp - some/dir | sock
host1:7777

What is mod_fcgid? It is a binary compatibility alternative to Apache
module mod_fastcgi.

mod_fcgid has a new process management strategy, which concentrates on
reducing the number of fastcgi server, and kick out the corrupt fastcgi
server as soon as possible.

To load the module into Apache, run the command "a2enmod fcgid" as
root.

See /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_fcgid.conf and
/usr/share/doc/packages/apache2-mod_fcgid for configuration.

ModSecurity(TM) is an open source intrusion detection and prevention
engine for web applications (or a web application firewall). Operating
as an Apache Web server module or standalone, the purpose of
ModSecurity is to increase web application security, protecting web
applications from known and unknown attacks.

The aim of mod_wsgi is to implement a simple to use Apache module which can
host any Python application which supports the Python WSGI interface.

archivemail is a tool for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes. It
moves messages older than the specified number of days to a separate mbox
format mailbox that is compressed with gzip. It can also just delete old email
rather than archive it.

NetBSD's ash (Almquist sh) for Linux is a small (62K--no job control)
Bourne-compatible shell. It is great for machines with low memory, but
does not provide all the extras of shells like bash, tcsh, and zsh.
Most shell scripts are compatible with bash. Note that most scripts
written for Linux use some bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup
scripts are a notable exception, because ash is the shell used during
installation.

Exim is a mail transport agent (MTA) developed at the University of
Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is
freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In
style, it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more extensive.
In particular, it has options for verifying incoming sender and
recipient addresses, for refusing mail from specified hosts, networks,
or senders, and for controlling mail relaying.

Initviocons can be used on the iSeries platform to recognize terminal
features of a telnet client that is connected to the virtual console
(similar to a serial console). It probes the terminal via escape
sequences to find out the screen size and a suitable TERM type. It also
does special initialization if possible (for example, carriage return
suppression for Windows telnet clients). On the iSeries platform, it
additionally checks for the presence of more than one terminal
connected on the same line. See /etc/profile for a usage example.

Logdigest, run by cron at night, greps through system log files
(var/log/messages, /var/log/mail, etc.) to find "interesting" content.

Lines matching the regular expressions in /etc/logdigest are simply
ignored. More expressions can be added to /etc/logdigest/ignore.local.
See /etc/logdigest/config for some general settings.

The results are mailed to the sysadmin daily.

This class provides handling of tar files in PHP.
It supports creating, listing, extracting and adding to tar files.
Gzip support is available if PHP has the zlib extension built-in orloaded.
Bz2 compression is also supported with the bz2 extension loaded.

Provides code to generate responses to common SASL mechanisms,
including:

- Digest-MD5
- CramMD5
- Plain
- Anonymous
- Login (Pseudo mechanism)

Allows for quick two-way blowfish encryption without requiring the MCrypt PHP extension

This package allows you to perform two-way blowfish encryption on the fly using only PHP. This package does not require the MCrypt PHP extension to work, although it can make use of it if available.

Generic classes for representation and manipulation of
dates, times and time zones without the need of timestamps,
which is a huge limitation for php programs. Includes time zone data,
time zone conversions and many date/time conversions.
It does not rely on 32-bit system date stamps, so
you can display calendars and compare dates that date
pre 1970 and post 2038. This package also provides a class
to convert date strings between Gregorian and Human calendar formats.

Date_Holidays helps you calculate the dates and titles of holidays and other special celebrations.
The calculation is driver-based so it is easy to add new drivers that calculate a country's holidays.
The methods of the class can be used to get a holiday's date and title in various languages.

Date_Holidays helps you calculate the dates and titles of holidays and other special celebrations.
This is the driver for Austria
