Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the
Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It
has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix
kernel, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management, and TCP/IP networking.
Changes: This version contains the same fixes as 2.4.34.6, plus support
for some new hardware (mostly new PCI IDs), the ability to use "notsc" on
x86_64, the new e1000 driver, and a few other updates.

interface to which privilege-granting programs (such as login and su)
defer to perform standard authentication tasks. PAM was invented by SUN
Microsystems.
Changes: This release contains new translations and improvements to
pam_limits.so, pam_access.so, pam_cracklib.so, pam_namespace.so, and
pam_selinux.so.

[034] - MirBSD Korn Shell R30
by mirabile (http://freshmeat.net/users/mirabile/)
Thu, Jul 26th 2007 23:01
System :: Shells
About: The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of
pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for
interactive use, but with primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be
portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too
obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well
as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS and FreeWRT projects.
The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks
are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all
pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with
the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits, but you can turn off brace
expansion), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other
useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without
losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at
compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.
Changes: Packagers should read the information at
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm#upgrade. mksh can now be built on more
platforms, such as AIX, and with a lot of vendor compilers (Intel, Sun,
IBM, Microsoft, Borland, Digital Mars, HP) in addition to gcc. Some
constructs from GNU bash are supported. The code and build system got
cleaned up, fixed, and improved further. Large file support on some OSes
and POSIX compatibility got better.

[038] - Network PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance 4.00
by Wolfgang Ullrich (http://freshmeat.net/users/ullrich/)
Thu, Jul 26th 2007 11:02
About: YAFPC-Appliance is a browser based management frontend for the PDF
composer/printer/Mailer YAFPC. It comes with the General-Purpose Appliance
System on a bootable CD in combination with an easy to use installation
script. Once installed, any PC booted from this CD image can act as a PDF
print server that provides an unlimited number of network shared virtual
PDF printers. The system requirements are low; any older PC can be used.
System configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in
the network. Virtual shared printers can be configured to apply
letterheads, watermarks, cover pages, and appendixes to all printed
documents. After printing, a document is sent to its owner by mail, can be
accessed in a shared folder on the server, or can be stored in a shared
network folder on some other machine.
Changes: A new "Install to Disk" function was added. The system can run as
a live CD, installed on a hard disk, or in a virtual machine now. The file
naming option for virtual printers can be set up to suppress original file
extensions in document titles.

Thu, Jul 26th 2007 09:30
Database
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: PHP Object Generator (POG) is a PHP code generator which generates
clean and tested object oriented code for your PHP4/PHP5 application. It
is meant to eliminate the time a PHP programmer often wastes on repetitive
coding of the database access layer of an application simply because
different applications require different objects. By generating PHP
objects with integrated CRUD methods, POG saves you from writing and
testing SQL queries.
Changes: POG now fetches result set arrays where possible (which provides
a big performance boost). Data encoding is handled within the database. A
new plugin interface is used. A data encoding sanity check was added to
setup. Siblings can be deleted without deleting children. Getlist()
accepts column names as filters. Getlist(), GetChild(), and GetSibling()
return all results if no arguments are passed. A database wrapper class
for PDO was added. The PDO performance was improved. The plugin API, POG
base API, and database API were made uniform to prevent plugin versioning.

Thu, Jul 26th 2007 23:14
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: The Port Scan Attack Detector (psad) is a collection of three
system daemons that are designed to work with the Linux iptables
firewalling code to detect port scans and other suspect traffic. It
features a set of highly configurable danger thresholds (with sensible
defaults), verbose alert messages, email alerting, DShield reporting, and
automatic blocking of offending IP addresses. Psad incorporates many of
the packet signatures included in Snort to detect various kinds of
suspicious scans, and implements the same passive OS fingerprinting
algorithm used by p0f.
Changes: A --gnuplot mode was added so that psad can output data that is
suitable for plotting with gnuplot. The ability to negate match conditions
on fields specified with the --CSV-fields argument was added. The
Storable-2.16 module was added along with the --use-store-file argument so
that in --gnuplot mode the Gnuplot data can be stored on disk and retrieved
quickly. --analysis-fields was added so the iptables log messages that are
parsed in -A mode can be restricted to those that meet certain criteria.

Thu, Jul 26th 2007 11:20
Games/Entertainment
Internet
About: ZIG is a portable, game-oriented client-server networking and
execution framework written in C++. It can be used together with other
engines or libraries that supply graphics, game physics, etc. in order to
implement a full multiplayer game engine. Its goal is to provide an
easy-to-use yet powerful game networking engine so that game developers
won't feel the need to write networking engines from scratch using
low-level APIs such as sockets.
Changes: This release brings about two years of bugfixes and enhancements,
plus documentation rewritten from scratch. It includes SCTP-like transport
of multiple message streams through a single ZIG client-server connection.
Each stream enforces a message ordering that is independent of other
streams. The ZIG streams also allow you to control bandwidth use (if you
want to) and to mix reliable and unreliable messages on the same stream.
