Utilities

About: Confirm is an email challenge-response system which virtually
eliminates all unsolicited email. It is written in C and procmail, and is
easily customized. Unsolicited email is checked against valid
sender/recipient headers; unauthorized email is held pending a one-time
confirmation reply from the sender.

Changes: Major bugfixes. Reverted back to sending email as individual
users rather than relying on a global system account. Email from critical
accounts (e.g., postmaster, mailer-daemon, etc.) is no longer filtered.

standard hexeditor, but more complex dynamic views are also possible. The
editor provides powerful search and diff functionality and user-defined
transformations to modify the binary data. Views can be filtered using the
XPath query language. Views can be exported in various formats, which can
be used to convert old binary formats into modern XML tagged data.

Changes: Static views can now be opened and saved. Data can be imported
and exported using various data encodings. Some serious bugs were fixed.

[010] - File Service Protocol 2.8.1b14 (Beta)
by Sven Hoexter (http://freshmeat.net/users/hoaxter/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 14:20

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

About: FSP is a UDP-based protocol for transferring files. It has many
benefits over FTP, mainly for running anonymous archives. It is usable on
lines with high packet loss ratio (70% WiFi), can go behind firewalls and
unoticed by port scans (because of UDP), does not overload networks when
hosting ISOs or movies, share files on modem lines without eating all of
the bandwidth, and keeps lamers away from your site (they don't know how
to get to it). This project is active continuation of the FSP code base
(abandoned for the last 5 years).

Changes: This release has two new commands/tools, fstatcmd and fspscan.
The setup.sh file seems to be working now. A security bug that allowed a
user to stat files outside of the FSP root. There are various other
clean-ups.

port could prevent logins to the server has been fixed. Note that only one
IP has access to the fireflier port by default. /var/run/fireflier/usrules
is no longer world readable. qtclient now terminates when there is already
a connected user. Progress messages have been added to the status bar.

[018] - gm4lin 1.2.6
by Mathias Bavay (http://freshmeat.net/users/math/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 14:22

Scientific/Engineering
System :: Hardware

About: gm4lin is a Linux driver for the serial port GM-45 and GM-10
radiation detectors. The driver is able to handle virtually any number of
detectors connected to a single computer and to log data to the screen, to
ASCI files or to a MySQL database (local or remote). Average activity and
pulse mode with a fake RC decay are available in order to come as close as
possible to common analog radiations detectors. This is console-only
software.

Changes: A bug when running in activity recording mode (cpm) and writing
data to a MySQL database has been fixed; now in such a case, the detected
amount of radiation is correct. The data log part has been almost
completely rewritten in order to make it easy to add other ways of logging
data, and in order to be better, cleaner code.

with Windows XP, which just does the Right Thing when you plug an ethernet
cable into a laptop, netplug will need no further explanation. Basically,
netplug brings up an interface and runs a DHCP client when a cable is
plugged into that interface, and it brings the interface down when the
cable is unplugged. On a typical Linux system or laptop, you have to run a
command (such as "/sbin/ifup") manually to handle these events, but
netplug automates this for you.

Changes: A new state machine makes it much less likely that netplugd will
behave pathologically.

[035] - Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator 3.0 (Guide)
by astormchaser (http://freshmeat.net/users/astormchaser/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 14:39

System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network
administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely
turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network
trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth
hogs". It can be configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa,
IMAP, and POP. It also comes with denial of service protection and a
special reservation system for voice and video traffic QOS.

Changes: This release has new sections that explain how to perform Quality
of service operations on your voice or video network. It goes into the
setup and some of the basic theory on using the Arbitrator in QOS mode to
reserve bandwidth. Using the arbitrator in QOS mode will allow you to run
uninterrupted VOIP traffic on a network that also carries data traffic.

[042] - Native SVG from Mozilla Beta 2
by linux (http://freshmeat.net/users/brainless/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 05:05

About: SVG is similar in scope to Macromedia's proprietary Flash
technology: among other things it offers anti-aliased rendering, pattern
and gradient fills, sophisticated filter-effects, clipping to arbitrary
paths, text, and animations. What distinguishes SVG from Flash is that it
is a W3 recommendation (i.e., a standard for all intents and purposes) and
that it is XML-based as opposed to a closed binary format. It is
explicitly designed to work with other W3C standards such as CSS, DOM, and
SMIL. The Mozilla SVG implementation is a native SVG implementation; it
can handle documents that contain SVG, MathML, XHTML, XUL, etc. all mixed
together in the same 'compound' document.

Changes: The library now runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

documentation. Two build-time options were added: a "spam policy" mail
header and a slew of anti-virus Subject filters. A little optimization was
done, and the subject filter RE is now fuller.

[064] - The Distributed Library Project 0.5
by Mike Benham (http://freshmeat.net/users/moxie0/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 04:32

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards

About: The Distributed Library Project is a distributed library of
people's books and videos. It is an experiment in creating community and
sharing information. Users create accounts complete with bios and interest
enumerations, then list the books and videos that they own. Those users
are then free to browse the books that others have listed, sorted by
proximity, interest, and book commonality. If a book or video is
available, a user can check it out directly from the owner. There is an
eBay-style feedback system for managing trust--users who return books on
time get positive feedback, while users who damage books or return them
late get negative feedback. These points create an overall "score" that
lenders can use to judge the trustworthiness of a borrower. The system
also supports user reviews, ISBN lookups, and collaboritve filtering.

Changes: This release features per-user language selection, a 'Your
Status' page for all borrowed, loaned, and pending item information, a
'lost password' utility, the ability for users to edit their
longitude/latitude, a basic administration page, distance information in
the search results and status pages, a 'dlp_' prefix for all DLP
database tables, internal password hashing, and other minor bugfixes.

[065] - Ultra-Performance UDPForwarder 4.0
by ocr.D-Link*Aiwa (http://freshmeat.net/users/Aiwa/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 06:28

Games/Entertainment
Internet :: Proxy Servers

About: UDPForwarder listens on multiple ports to forward incoming UDP
datagrams from clients to the corresponding server and forwards the
server's response back to the client. This works 100% transparently, so
clients think they are talking to the forwarder and the server does not
notice the clients' real IP. It was initially designed to work as a
transparent relay for online game traffic (static routing). It might be
useful for hiding IPs or tricking firewalls. Its motivation and advantage
over existing tools is its uncompromising focus on performance, which is
crucial when dealing with hundreds and thousands of datagrams per second
without allowing any rise in response time.

Changes: Remote configuration at run-time is now possible via an optional
telnet server. This means that users don't need a shell to open tunnels.
Minor bugfixes were made.

[066] - UnNaTuRaL 0.1.4
by GooseQuill (http://freshmeat.net/users/goosequill/)
Thursday, September 25th 2003 10:43

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing

About: UnNaTuRaL is a platform-independent role-playing engine. It was
named for the "UnNaTuRaL laws" of infinite individual user-created worlds.
These detailed worlds are built entirely from resource files (simple,
easy-to-read text-files) which control the language of the user interface,
the terrain of the world, and its creatures, conflicts, and encounters.

Changes: The matrix is recursively defined, stabilizing the form of the
world.data file. The Mover class has been rewritten to allow for N levels
of detail (currently parsing only one level). Optional bounded maps.
Player menus are now dynamic. The project roadmap is now included in the
tarball.

logs), NCSA logs (e.g. Apache's combined logs), Squid access logs, the
xferlog format (used by FTP daemons), bind9's query logs, and postfix
entries in the maillog.

Changes: A bug in the persistency code has been fixed: when the
persistency file had to be created, it didn't include a checksum, causing
it to be overwritten in the second run.
