[013] - gpgdir 1.3
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Sat, Jun 9th 2007 23:17
Security :: Cryptography
About: gpgdir is a Perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG module to encrypt
and decrypt directories using a GPG key specified in ~/.gpgdirrc. It
supports recursively descending through a directory in order to make sure
it encrypts or decrypts every file in a directory and all of its
subdirectories. All file mtime and atime values are preserved across
encryption and decryption operations. In addition, gpgdir is careful not
to encrypt hidden files and directories.
Changes: --Obfuscate mode was added so that the files within a directory
can be altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
encrypted). The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory is
decrypted. The --Agent-info command line argument was added so that the
value of the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the
gpgdir command line.

[028] - Safe and SafeDesktop 2.1
by daywalker (http://freshmeat.net/users/ddaayywallkkkeeeer/)
Sat, Jun 9th 2007 23:38

names and passwords. Instead, the user utilizes her cell phone to store
sensitive data in an encrypted way. Only one root password is required to
be remembered to get access to the data. The cell phone in question needs
to support J2ME applications. SafeDesktop is a cross-platform desktop
application that provides the same features as Safe, and has a mechanism
to keep the data synchronized between the two.
Changes: Exception handling was added. In case of an error, error messages
are shown to the user. An icon was added.

[031] - Syslinux 3.50 (Release)
by H. Peter Anvin (http://freshmeat.net/users/hpa/)
Sat, Jun 9th 2007 23:59
System :: Boot
About: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating
system which operates on Linux EXT2/EXT3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT
filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. SYSLINUX
has an advanced extension API and contains two optional menu systems. It
also includes MEMDISK, a tool for booting legacy operating systems from
non-traditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
Changes: This is a major new feature release that includes the ability to
chainload a new configuration file at runtime, possibly from a custom
module. A new "RAID mode" makes booting from RAID-1 more reliable. A
number of new APIs have been added to make the writing of custom modules
easier. There are a number of other enhancements to the menu system, as
well as support for the "include" directive in the configuration file.

[032] - sysstat 7.1.5
by Sébastien Godard (http://freshmeat.net/users/godard/)
Sat, Jun 9th 2007 18:29
System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: The sysstat package contains the sar, sadf, iostat, and mpstat
commands for Linux. The sar command collects and reports system activity
information. The information collected by sar can be saved in a file in a
binary format for future inspection. The statistics reported by sar
concern I/O transfer rates, paging activity, process-related activites,
interrupts, network activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU
utilization, kernel activities, and TTY statistics, among others. The sadf
command may be used to display data collected by sar in various formats
(XML, database-friendly, etc.). The iostat command reports CPU statistics
and I/O statistics for tty devices and disks. The pidstat command reports
statistics for Linux tasks (processes). The mpstat command reports global
and per-processor statistics. Both UP and SMP machines are fully
supported. Sysstat has support for hotplug CPUs and for National Language
(NLS).
Changes: The -d option was added to pidstat: this option reports I/O
statistics for individual tasks. The -C option was added to sadc: this
option enables the user to insert a timestamped comment in the binary data
file. The -C option was added to sar: This option tells sar to display
comments inserted in the binary data file by sadc. A bug that could happen
while reading /proc/interrupts where IRQ numbers can now be 4 digits long
in recent kernels was fixed. A possible buffer overflow in ioconf.c was
fixed.
