Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security

About: Blackhole Spam/Virus Filter provides spam and virus filtering using
dot files in all the major MTA/SMTP servers for UNIX and similar systems.
It also can be used as a qmail-queue replacement or a Postfix Content
Filter to cover the entire SMTP servers userbase. It is different from
other, similar programs, in that it scales for thousands of users from
being in C and not executing external programs for most of its work. It is
uses flat config files or MySQL to store the configs of each user. Almost
every type of check in existence for spam is implimented. It can be setup
like an access list with each check type (over 15 checks currently) having
its own separate rules for action and scores to choose action precedence.
Subject tagging, custom headers, and detailed report logging can be fully
configured from the config file, there is a global config file for default
users setup, and it works with clamscan, which gives a fully Free
spam/virus solution which matches any commercial offering.

Changes: Updated the spamcomplain program and man pages, and updated the
demon.c program for stopping SMTP floods. An infinite loop bug was fixed,
and the ordering for weighting actions is now checked. Subject and other
headers are now processed properly if they are missing a space after the
colon. A bug with MIME splitting was fixed, where temporary files were
left behind when attachments were present.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: empy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text; it takes empy source files, processes them, and produces
output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to
the empy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at
sign, ''). empy can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in
this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not
explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output,
allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported
are recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic and chainable
filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options.

Changes: Allows ']' to represent unbalanced close brackets in '[...]'
markups.

  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 00:24

System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: FIRE|GATE is a Linux 2.4 IPtables script for use as a firewall and
NAT/masquerade gateway for home or SOHO networks. It shares a single
internet connection between workstations, and optionally forwards inbound
HTTP, SMTP, or other requests to an internal server (not a DMZ). Hardware
requirements are modest, with an i486 capable of handling (at least) 10
machines. FIRE|GATE differs from many online examples in that it is
heavily commented, so it's understandable, it is fully contained in one
script, it includes SYSCTL parameters for increased strength, it addresses
IM client file transfers, and there is no need to specify/grep for the
external IP, even if it's assigned via DHCP.

Changes: Expanded and clarified comments, and added more trojan blocks.
Portscan and badflag checks are now only performed on the external
interface. It is now possible to have multiple DHCP servers and turn SSH
and IDENT on and off. The internal and external interface names can be
defined, and specific inbound port blocking was changed to be on the
external interface only, as it would have kept some internal services from
working.

[033] - Gringotts 0.7.0pre1
  by Germano Rizzo (http://freshmeat.net/users/mano78/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 04:15

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Security
Security :: Cryptography

About: Gringotts is a small utility that allows you to jot down sensitive
data (passwords, credit card numbers, PINs, etc.) in an easy-to-read,
easy-to-access, and most of all very secure form. Gringotts makes use of
the MCrypt and MHash libraries for encryption, and uses GTK+ 2 for the
user interface. It lets the user choose from among eight strong encryption
algorithms (RIJNDAEL-128, RIJNDAEL-256, SERPENT, TWOFISH, CAST-256,
SAFER+, LOKI97, 3DES), two hashing algorithms (SHA1, RIPEMD 160) and two
compression techniques (ZLib and BZip2) with four compression ratios.
Moreover, it allows the user to use any file as a password, as an
alternative to the usual text string, giving additional choices.

Changes: A new v3 file format has been introduced, which improves security
and introduces XML as the internal frame for data. A major bug that caused
the truncation of opened data has been fixed, and the 512 Kb limit for
password files has been removed. The entry number that the user last
viewed is now saved in the file.

  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 13:40

Software Development

About: The Group Enabled Cluster Compiler (gecc) distributes the
compilation (of C/C++ code) on a cluster of hosts. Compiled code is
cached, so rebuilds with little or no changes to the source are much
faster.

Changes: The process model was simplified. Caching of object files is
disabled, but will be (re-)enable in the next few days. Mozilla builds on
3 machines (and runs).

[038] - HouseSpider 4.3
  by Hans Fr. Nordhaug (http://freshmeat.net/users/hansfn/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 06:51

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: HouseSpider is an Java applet that adds indexing and search
capability to web sites. It can search by two methods: by spidering
through the site, or by searching a cached index file. Spider-searching is
slow, but very easy to set up and requires no maintenance. Cache-searching
requires only a little more attention to set-up and is sometimes even
faster than CGI programs. HouseSpider also supports compression (in
zip-format) of the index file, and boolean searches.

Changes: This version features a much improved treatment of pages using
framesets, improved search functionality, index files, a status line in
the applet, and a parameter to turn the status line off. Search and index
progress is now displayed, and debug, bgtextcolour, textcolour, and
documentation URL parameters were added to the applet.

[041] - IPSquad Packages From Scratch 1.0
  by Er-Vin (http://freshmeat.net/users/ervin/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 10:35

System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Logging

About: IPFS (IPSquad Package From Source) is a system which allows you to
trace an program's installation from sources and register it in your
favorite packaging system. (Only Slackware 8.1 is currently supported.)
IPFS watches a command (generally make install), collects the list of
added files, and then registers them in the chosen packaging system as if
the install was made from a normal package. Unlike other similar products,
IPFS is able to track both shared and statically linked programs. A
Slackware 8.1 package for IPFS is available for download.

Changes: A man page was added. Speed was improved. The file list can now
be edited. The generated package was made more portable, since symlinks no
longer reference absolute paths.

  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 00:20

Software Development
Software Development :: Testing

About: KCachegrind visualizes traces generated by profiling, in various
ways, including a TreeMap visualization of the calls happening, and a
condensed version, the Coverage analysis. It's designed to be fast and to
provide a quick overview of very large programs, such as KDE applications.
It uses Cachegrind as profiling backend, which uses the CPU simulator in
Valgrind. Thus, profiling does not need any preparation, can cope with
shared libraries and plugin architectures, and allows for profile runs to
not influence the measuring by the profile itself, however, the
disadvantage to this is slower profile runs.

Changes: Usability has been enhanced. Some gprof terminology is now used,
and lots of "What's this" help was added. Many visualization options were
added to the TreeMap widget (for the call graph and trace part overview).
Titles with cost values can be printed on rectangles, and a perfect
proportion mode is now available to make the rectangle sizes really become
proportional to the cost of the corresponding function.

[059] - Morphon XML-Editor 2.1
  by Neil de Hoog (http://freshmeat.net/users/neillie/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 06:25

Text Processing :: Markup

About: The Morphon XML-Editor is a validating WSYSIWYG XML editor that
lets you create and modify XML documents in an intuitive manner. Using
DTDs (Document Type Definitions) and CSS (Cascading StyleSheets), the
editor guarantees the integrity of your XML documents and presents them in
a consistent and user-friendly way. The XML editor is bundled with the
Morphon CSS Editor that can be used to customize your CSS, allowing you to
change every aspect of the way the XML editor presents your document while
editing. The CSS editor can also be used stand-alone to directly create
CSS for the Web.

Changes: This release adds a new algorithm for showing text fragments in
the tree, supports more CSS border types and border shortcuts, Webstart, a
configurable temporary files area for XSLT processing, and adds a
configurable external command for XSLT previews. The maximum line length
for saved files can be set, and external tools can be started from menu
items, shortcut keys, and toolbar buttons in the editor. The manual was
also updated.

[060] - Moto 0.13.0 (Development)
  by Dave Hakim (http://freshmeat.net/users/dhakim/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 17:46

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries

About: Moto is a server-side scripting language much like PHP or
ColdFusion. The difference between Moto and other server-side scripting
languages is that Moto pages can run interpreted (like PHP) or be natively
compiled into dynamically loadable Apache modules (an entire Web site
could be compiled into one .so file). It comes with a full suite of
objects and functions for state and session management, MySQL database
connectivity, and a slew of utility classes like stacks, hashtables,
string buffers, etc. There is also an included interface definition
language for exposing C functions to Moto. All object allocation occurs in
a shared memory segment, so maintaining state in objects between page
views is a snap.

Changes: This release fixes bugs with arrays of doubles and greatly
improves array operation performance. It also adds a couple spoonfuls of
syntactic sugar that make it easier to copy code from Java into moto
without having to make too many changes to the syntax.

  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 04:13

Database
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: MySQL High Availability clustering is a set of scripts and
programs that provide a high availability database cluster using MySQL
replication. It is transparent to client applications, as the cluster
uses a shared logical IP to provide the service.

Changes: Minor changes were made to eliminate redundant script sourcing of
common.sh. The logger now tags syslog lines with 'mysql-had'. Inconsistent
variable naming for the mysql rc script was fixed (RC_SCRIPT vs MYSQL_RC).
The slave_routine now performs the check against the cluster's IP rather
than the master's IP. configurator.sh now adds the cluster IP when the
cluster is started and automatically starts MySQL.

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: The spasm anti-spam milter is a spam filter for sendmail 8.12+
(with libmilter support). Current features include logging of rejected
spam, fully virtualised settings for domains, individual whitelists, and
over two dozen blacklist filters which can be set individually on a
per-domain or per-email address basis (including local blacklist, rDNS
resolution, HELO/EHLO verification, envelope sender address verification,
numerous DNS-based lists, whitelist-only mode, tagging-only mode, and
auto-blacklisting features).

Changes: Removed spasmtrap from the package, and added spamtrap and
envelope sender menus to spasm(1). The database independent functions were
finished, and LDAP and MySQL support were added. spamtrap and the envelope
sender regexp support were redesigned, and the syslog identity was changed
from 'spasm' to 'spasmd'.

[097] - Tape-Oriented Backup 0.21
  by Stephen van Egmond (http://freshmeat.net/users/svanegmond/)
  Tuesday, September 24th 2002 18:51

System :: Archiving :: Backup

About: Tape-Oriented Backup (tob) is a general driver for making and
maintaining backups. Given a set of "volume definitions", it creates tar-
or afio-based backups and stores them either to a device in /dev or a file
in the filesystem (to be burned to optical media later). Through a
straightforward configuration file, you can instruct tob to mount and
unmount devices before beginning backups. tob supports full backups,
differential backups (of the files which were changed since the last full
backup), and incremental backups (of files changed since any previous
backups). It lets you determine the size of the backup before actually
making it, maintain lists of made backups, make remote backups, and more.

Changes: This is the "whoops" release. If you were doing backups to tape,
check your / partition. You might see some new files there. It's also the
"adoptee" release. tob had been unmaintained since the original maintainer
moved on. It now has a proper home, with CVS, mailing lists, and
everything. This release adds much-improved support for backups to
filesystems. Full backups will delete all old backups. Incremental backups
will delete older incremental and differential backups.
