GlusterFS is an open source, distributed file system capable of
scaling to several petabytes and handling thousands of
clients. GlusterFS clusters together storage building blocks over
Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect, aggregating disk and memory
resources and managing data in a single global namespace. GlusterFS
is based on a stackable user space design and can deliver exceptional
performance for diverse workloads.
GNU-Radius is a server for remote user authentication and accounting.
Its primary use is for Internet Service Providers, though it may also
be used on any network that needs a centralized authentication and/or
accounting service for its workstations. The package includes an
authentication and accounting server and administrator tools.
nss_ldap is a NSS module which provides an LDAP backend for C library
functions such as getpwnam(3), getgrnam(3), and gethostbyname(3). It
is compliant with RFC 2307, ``An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network
Information Service''.
Currently this is an experimental port, with support only for the
`passwd' and `group' databases.
Grsync is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for rsync, the commandline directory
synchronization tool. It makes use of the GTK libraries and is released under
the GPL license, so it is opensource. It doesn't support all of rsync features,
but can be effectively used to synchronize local directories and supports
remote targets in a limited way (read: manual).
Howl is a cross-platform implementation of the Zeroconf networking
standard. Zeroconf brings a new ease of use to IP networking.
Howl allows software developers to easily embed
Zeroconf/Bonjour(tm)-like functionality in their applications, making
cumbersome and error-prone network configuration tasks seem so five
minutes ago.
Jumpgate is a TCP connection forwarder that provides many enhancements and
improvements over the existing programs that do the same thing. Only
tested on OpenBSD, but should run without problems on any Unix-like
system. If you furtherly improve it, please send me the diffs. As always,
published under a BSD style license, see the included LICENSE file.
Net::Whois::Raw - Perl extension for retrieving unparsed raw whois
information. There is also a simple way of checking whether a domain
is registered or not.
Usage:
use Net::Whois::Raw;
$s = whois('perl.com');
$s = whois('freebsd.org');
$s = whois('freebsd.org.ua');
$Net::Whois::Raw::CHECK_FAIL = 1;
print "Hurry up!\n" if !whois('microsoft.com');
LambdaMOO is a network-accessible, multi-user, programmable, interactive
system well-suited to the construction of text-based adventure games,
conferencing systems, and other collaborative software.
Its most common use, however, is as a multi-participant,
low-bandwidth virtual reality, and it is with this focus in mind
that I describe it here.
See also /usr/local/share/doc/LambdaMOO.

ldap2dns is a program to create DNS (Domain Name Service) records directly
from a LDAP directory. ldap2dns is designed to write ASCII data files used
by tinydns from the djbdns package, but also may be used to write .db-files
used by named as found in the BIND package.
libgweather is a library to access weather information from online
services for numerous locations.
libgweather isn't supported in the devel platform, which means OS vendors
won't guarantee the API/ABI long-term, but authors of open source apps
should feel free to use libgweather as users can always recompile against
a new version.
