[033] - MoSSHe 1.3.10
by Volker Tanger (http://freshmeat.net/users/vtanger/)
Sun, Dec 18th 2005 17:31
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: MoSSHe (MOnitoring with SSH Environment) is a simple, lightweight
(both in size and system requirements) server monitoring package designed
for secure and in-depth monitoring of a number of typical Internet
systems. It was developed to keep the impact on network and performance
low, and to use a safe, encrypted connection for in-depth inspection of
the system checked. It is not possible to remotely run (more or less
arbitrary) commands via the monitoring system, nor is unsafe cleartext
SNMP messaging necessary (yet possible). A read-only Web interface makes
monitoring and status checks simple (and safe) for admins and helpdesk.
Checking scripts are included for remote services (DNS, HTTP, IMAP2,
IMAP3, POP3, samba, SMTP, and SNMP) and local systems (disk space, load,
CPU temperature, fan speed, free memory, print queue size and activity,
processes, RAID status, shells, log file events (logins, restarts, and
brute force attacks), and mail queue).
Changes: This release changes the FTP check to function with more servers
(better/more robust return code separation). There are cosmetic fixes in
Web interface and updated documentation. "findbuggyline.py" has been added
to the Logs directory.

[037] - PTM 0.5.0 Beta

Sun, Dec 18th 2005 20:29
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: PTM is a Perl/HTML hybrid language, written entirely in Perl, and
similar to PHP in tag syntax. It allows for the ease of PHP-style inline
code in your dynamic HTML documents, while supplying the power of Perl
that many find to be sorely lacking in PHP. PTM's parser application,
referred to as the PPA, acts as an Apache plugin, a standalone parser
placed in the cgi-bin, or a command line parser (for debugging purposes),
and is distributed for both Unix and Window platforms. Additionally, PTM
wraps many variables common to PHP to ease the transition between PTM and
PHP when switching back and forth.
Changes: A few functions flagged by the testers have been fixed or have
had minor changes in functionality made to them, and there are two major
security enhancements that have been put into place. A couple new base
functionality functions have been added. A new module (RSS20) has been
added that allows for simple node-based parsing of RSS 2.0 compatible XML
feeds both over the Internet and stored in local files. The .htaccess file
has been shortened to provide less overhead in Standalone/Emulation
installation mode, and the installation process has been simplified.

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: qgreylistrbl is an add-on for qmail. It is a further development of
qgreylist by Jon Atkins. Connections from dialin lines, RBL-listed lines,
and nodes without a reverse DNS entry get refused the first time with a
temporary error message. Future connections are accepted immediately. This
method has been proven as very effective at stopping spam. Before a host
gets a greylist entry, it must pass several tests: a test for EHLO/HELO
spoofing, a test whether the recipient exists, a test of the number of
recipients for NDNs, and more.
Changes: Many bugfixes. vpopmail support has been removed because of too
little effect and performance reasons.

About: Quod Libet is a music library management program. Rather than
categorize songs by genre, artist, and album, it lets you search and
display them however you want. It supports regexp-based searches, album
cover display, tag editing, ReplayGain, multimedia keys, and an OSD. Also
included is Ex Falso, a tag editor that has the same editing features
found in Quod Libet, but does not play audio files.
Changes: Many command line options have been added. Podcasts and other
audio feeds are now supported. One Song (and One Song repeat) modes were
added. The tray icon menu now includes most functionality from the main
window. Musepack and MOD are now supported via ctypes, and need no other
external modules. Wavpack and preliminary M4A support were added.
GStreamer errors are handled more gracefully. A Portuguese translation was
added.

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
System :: Archiving
About: Rant is a flexible build tool. The equivalent to a Makefile for
make is the Rantfile, which is actually a valid Ruby script that is read
in by the rant command. It currently features automated testing,
packaging, and RDoc generation for Ruby applications and libraries,
creation of gzipped tar and zip archives on all supported platforms
without additional software, recognition of file changes based on MD5
checksums, dependency checking for C/C++ source files (makedepend is not
required), and more. It can generate a script tailored to the needs of a
specific project, which can be used instead of an Rant installation so
that users aren't dependent on Rant.
Changes: This release fixes a bug where a rule created task wouldn't find
its prerequisites. The fix to create backwards compatible RubyGem packages
with RubyPackage is enabled for all newer (>1.8.2) Ruby versions now.

Sun, Dec 18th 2005 17:32
System :: Boot :: Init
About: runit is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service
supervision; a replacement for sysvinit and other init schemes. It runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, snf Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other
Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept.
Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization tasks. Stage 2
starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir program). Stage 3
handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or reboot.
Changes: This release fixes a bug in the svlogd program when writing log
messages to the network through UDP and additionally to a local log. It
fixes a minor bug in the runsvdir program when the system time jumps into
the past. Parts of the documentation have been updated.

MySQL-powered back-end. Its author, with atypical hubris, truly believes
s11n to be the most advanced, most flexible, simplest-to-use, and utterly
most powerful serialization framework ever implemented in C++.
Changes: This releases fixed a memory leak introduced during refactoring
in 1.2.1. It affects all load from file/stream operations, so users of
1.2.1 should upgrade.

Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: Serving XML provides a pipeline language for declaratively
adapting content to XML, transforming it through a chain of XSLT
stylesheets and SAX filters, and producing a stream of output to a local
or remote destination. The accompanying console app supports reading

it as XML, HTML, PDF, or mail attachments. This software is especially
suitable for converting flat files to XML, with its support for variant
record types, multi-valued fields, namespaces, hierarchical grouping of
records, row-by-row validation with XML Schema, and much more. There is

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Scientific/Engineering
About: wview is an application that controls a Davis Vantage Pro or
Vantage Pro2 weather station console to retrieve archive records and
current conditions. Archive records may optionally be stored in a
relational database (MySQL or PostgreSQL). At a user-defined interval,
wview will use the archive history and current conditions to generate
weather images (buckets and graphs) and Web pages based on configurable
HTML templates. It supports serial and USB data loggers, as well as
connectivity with a terminal server or serial server via TCP sockets.
Changes: This release adds support for hosting wview on the Linksys
NSLU2. An ipkg repository has been created on the wvewweather.com site so
that wview and prerequisites (including an assortment of USB drivers) can
be easily installed from the NSLU2 ipkg utility. See the new User Manual
section "Using a Linksys NSLU2 as the wview Host" for full details. A
memory leak in dbdatabase.c for SQL record insertions that caused the
memory used by wviewd to gradually grow in size has been fixed. This only
affected those who have "SQLDB_ENABLE" enabled in wview.conf.

Desktop Environment :: File Managers
About: Xplorer is a file manager with fast and accurate filetype
detection. It has a tree and a list field displaying the contents of your
local filesystem. Drag and drop, and cut and paste are supported along
with deleting, renaming, and creating files. It does not have embedded
file viewers, but launches the external applications of your choice. The
package runs directly on Xlib and does not have a dependency on external
toolkits.
Changes: This release adds GUI configurability for Timing, Colors, and
Fonts. MPEG detection has been improved.
