[007] - CacheTable 0.1
by Matteo Merli (http://freshmeat.net/users/merlimat/)
Sat, Jan 13th 2007 17:16
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CacheTable is a C++ template library that implements a very fast
hash map container. Its particularity, compared with std::hash_map and
google::sparse_hash_map, is that it has a fixed size (decided it when it
is created) and a random item replacement policy: in case of an "hash
collision" the older item is "discarded" and replaced with the new one.
This container is ideal for implementing a caching system, when you want
very fast item insertion and retrieval and you know the memory amount you
want to dedicate ahead of time.

[021] - Heimdal 0.7.2
by Love Hörnquist Åstrand (http://freshmeat.net/users/lha/)
Sat, Jan 13th 2007 07:02
About: Heimdal is an implementation of Kerberos 5 that aims to be
protocol compatible with existing implementations and RFC 1510. It is
also reasonably compatible with the M.I.T Kerberos V5 API, supports
Kerberos V5 over GSS-API (RFC 1964), includes a number of important and
useful applications (rsh, telnet, popper, etc.), and is backwards
compatible with Kerberos V4.
Changes: This release fixes a security problem in rshd that enabled an
attacker to overwrite and change ownership of any file that root could
write. It fixes a DOS in telnetd. It makes gss_acquire_cred(GSS_C_ACCEPT)
check that the requested name exists in the keytab before returning
success. (This allows servers to check if it's even possible to use
GSSAPI.) It fixes the receiving end of token delegation for GSS-API. It
still wrongly uses subkey for sending, for compatibility reasons. telnetd,
login, and rshd are now more verbose in logging failed and successful
logins.

[032] - Modular Google Talk Bot 1.1
by Michael Still (http://freshmeat.net/users/mikalstill/)
Sat, Jan 13th 2007 18:49
System :: Networking
About: gtalkbot is a modular bot system for Google Talk and other Jabber
IM networks. It uses simple Python plug-ins that register verbs, which
appear as the first word of an IM and result in another IM being sent back
to the user. An example MythTV bot is included.
Changes: This version moves the username, password, and plugin directory
information into a configuration file. This means that the username and
password that the bot is using will no longer appear in the command line,
and therefore will not appear in the command history nor the process
listing.

to be active or beryl with the emerald window decorator.
