[001] - Advanced TFTP 0.4
by Remi Lefebvre (http://freshmeat.net/users/remi1/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 03:54
About: atftp is a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol that
implements RFCs 1350, 2090, 2347, 2348, and 2349. The server is
multi-threaded and the client presents a friendly interface using
libreadline. The current server implementation lacks multicast and ipv6
support.
Changes: Client statistics support. Better readline support in client.
Daemon mode supported in server. Debconf fr, es, and de translations
(debian packaging). Autoconf support.

About: alterMIME is a set of utilities designed to assist in the
modification of MIME-encoded mailpacks often used by Inflex, XaMime, and
other email-scanners. alterMIME can add disclaimers and nullify specified
attachments. alterMIME is part of the commercial XaMime software suite, but
is being offered back to the OpenSource community.
Changes: A problem which caused a segfault when a disclaimer was being
added if an email was not MIME format has been fixed.

Categories: System :: Installation/Setup, System :: Software Distribution,
System :: Systems Administration
About: The Arusha Project (ARK) seeks to provide a framework and/or tools
for collaborative system administration of multi-platform Unix sites with
many dozens of machines.
Changes: The 'try out ARK' stuff (sample1) is much improved. ARK engine's
tracking of "provenance" is real now. The macro language (used in params,
etc.) has been revised and documented. Sidai stuff for mass-configuring in
/etc (net-config, sys-config, etc.) really works. There is some support for
HP-UX 11 and Red Hat Linux 7.1. There are some bugfixes and many minor
improvements.

by Bruce Korb (http://freshmeat.net/users/bkorb/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 18:46
Categories: Other/Nonlisted Topic, Software Development, Software
Development :: Build Tools, Software Development :: Code Generators
About: AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain
repetitive text with varied substitutions. Its goal is to simplify the
maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text that
must be kept synchronized.
Changes: The template author may now specify which shell to use for their
template. Documentation was added describing how to generate output in
alternate directories. AutoGen distributed templates will now be found
automatically, providing you install the data in the standard
${prefix}/share/autogen directory. An extraction function was added, so now
you may "carry forward" text from previously generated output, provided it
lies between well-defined markers.

Changes: A more ergonomic admin page, back/post/answer buttons both at top
and bottom of page, and two colors for messages in the threads page.

another monitoring your network for intrusion detection attempts, DEMARC
combines all three services into one powerful client/server program.
Changes: Bugs that caused an infinite loop and drain on server memory have
been remedied, as well as the bad recognition of HTTPS. A brand new INSTALL
doc has been written for this release that will actually guide you through
the process of installation (the most requested "feature").

the game with more maneuver space on the board. Any time you fail to create
a line of "kugels", new ones will appear on the board. Once the board is
full, the game is over.

Saturday, July 21st 2001 09:08
Category: Security
About: The Linux Port/Socket Pseudo ACLs patch allows an administrator to
delegate privileges for some protected network resources to non-root users.

unprivileged process, thereby mitigating some undiscovered denial of
service or root compromise. The ACLs cover protected ports, raw sockets,
and packet sockets.

[027] - monit 1.3.1
by hauk (http://freshmeat.net/users/hauk/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 03:52
About: monit is a utility for monitoring daemons or similar programs
running on a Unix system. It will start specified programs if they are not
running and restart programs not responding. It supports a daemon mode
(poll programs at a specified interval, and start, stop, and restart
programs), logging (syslog or your own logfile), configuration (with a
comprehensive controlfile) runtime and TCP/IP port checking, process
status, and timeout and alert notification.
Changes: Email alert notification is put after server restart. Relevant if
monit watches the local smtp server and use this for alert as well. The
timeout alarm is started before monit tries to open a socket, so monit
doesn't hang on a connection. Possible command-switch exploits removed.

[028] - mpg321 0.1.2 (Development)
by Joe Drew (http://freshmeat.net/users/hoserhead/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 17:45
About: mpg321 is a command-line mp3 player based on the mad mpeg audio
library. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement of mpg123, and
therefore its interface has been designed around that of mpg123, without
using any of its code. In short, it is a fully free clone of mpg123.
Changes: Fixes to random and shuffled play, and an updated signal handler
so pressing control-c twice doesn't automatically kill mpg321, and so that
when you do exit mpg321 it outputs the file playing time, like mpg123.

compression, individual left frame width, dynamic length for input fields,
timestamp field will be set by default to "NOW()", trouble detection if
insert field failed, and various language updates.

all (preview channels, C-SPAN, other informational channels), a new
hosts.conf file to pitou-mux (only IPs listed in the file will be allowed
to connect), and some bugfixes.

[038] - PostGIS 0.5 (Stable)
by Paul Ramsey (http://freshmeat.net/users/PWRamsey/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 04:08
About: PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL
object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the
PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database
for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's
Spatial extension.
Changes: PostGIS is now supported as a data source for the University of
Minnesota MapServer. Additionally, extra support for Well Known Binary has
been added, and a slew of OpenGIS support functions. These include support
for length calculated on a spheroid, which is a precursor to support for
Spatial Referencing Systems and metadata tables.

[045] - Shibboleth 2.2.0
by Eugene Sandulenko (http://freshmeat.net/users/sev/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 18:50
Categories: Communications :: Email :: Mailing List Servers, Security
About: Shibboleth is a privacy and security-aware mailing list manager,
perfect for allowing closed groups to interact on the Internet without
interference from outsiders and former insiders. It features user
verification to prevent any forged mailing to list, message digest
handling, address standartization, header canonicalization, file serving,
header-based passwords, PGP support, remote e-mail based management, lists
moderation, message filters, and more.
Changes: Recent investigations (see release info at project's SF page) show
the vulnerabilty of plain PGP signatures with open keys; Shibboleth now
targets that issue. User privacy has been improved by removing free mailer
ads. This allows them to not expose their mail service provider. The
administrator can define regular expressions to remove most widespread
adverts.

[053] - X on DirectFB 1.6.2
by Denis Oliver Kropp (http://freshmeat.net/users/dok666/)
Saturday, July 21st 2001 20:12
About: XDirectFB (ported from XGGI) is a partly-accelerated X server which
uses DirectFB in fullscreen mode to do hardware-independent graphics and
input. Window movements and solid rectangle fills are accelerated. The
development goal is to create a DirectFB Window (using DirectFB's window
stack instead of running in fullscreen mode) for each X top level window
and use DirectFB Surfaces for Pixmaps and Images (like the GDK backend
does). This way you get a fully-accelerated X server with seamless
integration into the DirectFB desktop.
Changes: This is a ported version from XGGI with the addition of
accelerated cfbFillRectSolid.
