[011] - cgipaf 1.2.3 (Stable)
by staf (http://freshmeat.net/users/stafwag/)
Thursday, October 9th 2003 11:52

Communications :: Email

About: cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which
allow users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users
to view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS configuration
when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc in the
user's home directory. A user with too many invalid logins can be locked.
The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the configuration file, so you
can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed to use cgipaf.

Changes: The email forwarding method has been modified to avoid email
looping. configure has been improved to support newer versions of gdbm and
Berkeley db.

someday soon, for now just comment it out if you don't want it). The code
has been cleaned up a little bit, and some confusing legacy comments have
been removed.

[021] - Finomaton 0.8
by Markus Triska (http://freshmeat.net/users/spockman/)
Thursday, October 9th 2003 11:45

Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Utilities

About: Finomaton allows users comfortably draw and typeset finite state
machines (automata). The resulting graphs can be exported to plain
MetaPost and subsequently be included in TeX and LaTeX documents for
excellent typesetting quality. Contrary to many other packages, the
mouse can be used to interactively move objects around. States are
magnetic to facilitate connection, and any TeX command can be embedded in
the labels of states and lines.

Changes: A batch mode was added to convert a set of files
non-interactively. The main canvas is now scrollable. A comment, the
author's name, and verbatim TeX commands can be added to files. The length
and breadth of MetaPost arrowheads can now be adjusted. Mouse coordinates
are displayed on-screen, selection handling has been improved, and the
MetaPost export file name is now remembered. No more redundant data is
saved or exported, and some smaller corrections and improvements were
implemented.

Software Development :: Testing
System :: Monitoring

About: GCViewer is a Swing-based application that visualizes the verbose
garbage collection output generated by the IBM and Sun Java VMs. The data
can also be exported as CSV for forther processing with a spreadsheet
application. Visualizing the data can help when one is tuning the garbage
collector, especially the generation sizes and initial heap size.

Changes: Support for IBM JDK 1.3.1 verbose garbage collection output was
added. The timestamp format of the timeline was changed to a H:mm:ss
format instead of just displaying seconds.

About: Goanseech is a spinoff of the leverlada IRC leech script. One of
its core parts was extracted and remade into a standalone server. This
server holds information about the basic pattern that specifies the base
name of a TV series, which episodes were already fetched, and the maximum
number of episodes. There are several clients, including a script that
parses Web pages for Bittorrent links, matches them against the
information on the series server, and controls a user-defined number of
Bittorrent clients for retrieval. There is also a directory watcher which
scans a given set of directories and updates the series server with newly
found files.

Changes: This version features a new GTK 2 client with enhanced
functionalities. The series client has been enhanced to cope with more
complex cases.

Education
Software Development
Software Development :: Assemblers

About: KMD is a multi-processor debugger. It can debug with hardware
boards over serial ports or with software emulators (ARM and MIPS
emulators are included in the project). Using the pipe option you can
debug over the network or any other communication medium. It can load many
executable formats such as ELF, and display and follow the original source
even from multiple source file programs. There is support for breakpoints
and watchpoints which can trap on specific data (such as loading or
executing specific instructions). Support for other features such as
FPGA's is also available, allowing loading or any control required to
drive a specific hardware device. The project uses chump to allow
disassembly and line assembly. Chump also allows new architectures to be
easily added without the need to recompile the system. Communication with
the backend is done using two pipes/fifos using a simple set of codes.
Back end communication program can be created using very little memory on
the target device.

Changes: The option of using chump to compile a source file and then load
it has been added. Chump can now handle some symbol generation such as
labels. Currently only first pass has been implemented, so forward label
reference is not yet possible. A big revamp of the user interface,
especially in simple mode, has been applied, as well as keeping the file
list from a previous session.

System :: Logging

About: Osiris is a host integrity management system that can be used to
monitor changes to a network of hosts over time and report those changes
back to the administrator(s). Osiris takes periodic snapshots of the
filesystem, configurations, and logs, and stores them on a central
management host. When changes are detected, Osiris will log these events
and optionally send email to an administrator. Osiris also has preliminary
support for monitoring other system data, including user lists, file
system details, kernel modules, and network interface configurations.

Changes: This is a complete rewrite of previous versions, allowing central
management of hosts, logs, databases, scheduled scans, and change
notification.

About: The XMMS Real Random plugin overrides the builtin shuffle mode and
plays the titles in a more random way.

Changes: Scoring support was added. The plugin logs whether you skip a
title or listen to the whole song. The data is written into ~/.xmms/score.
It's the list of the inodes of the files you already played. Since the
inode of a file will be used for storing the scoring information, the
scoring system is playlist independent. Scoring is used if "avoid playing
titles twice" is turned on. The scoring system will take affect after
running XMMS for some days.
