The vblade is the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade, a program that makes a seekable file available over an ethernet local area network (LAN) via the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol. The seekable file is typically a block device like /dev/md0 but even regular files will work. Sparse files can be especially convenient. When vblade exports the block storage over AoE it becomes a storage target. Another host on the same LAN can access the storage if it has a compatible aoe kernel driver.

utftpd is a TFTP server with fine-grained access control, support for blksize (RFC 2348), timeout options and support for revision control. You can assign three different kinds of rights to every client: - read: the right to read a file. - write: the right to write to an already existing file. - create: the right to create a file. Clients may be specified by a single ip address or a range of addresses or by ip address and mask. Revision control is optional and will never be turned on automatically for any file (you have to do the initial checkin into by hand).

Wackamole is an application that helps with making a cluster highly available. It manages a number of virtual IPs, that should be available to the outside world at all times. Wackamole ensures that a single machine within a cluster is listening on each virtual IP address that Wackamole manages. If it discovers that any particular machine within the cluster are not alive, it will almost immediately ensure that other machines acquire their public IPs. At no time will more than one machine listen on any virtual IP. Wackamole also works toward achieving a balanced distribution of the numbered IPs on the machine within the cluster it manages.

PostScript::Simple allows you to have a simple method of writing PostScript files from Perl. It has graphics primitives that allow lines, curves, circles, polygons and boxes to be drawn. Text can be added to the page using standard PostScript fonts. The images can be single page EPS files, or multipage PostScript files. The image size can be set by using a recognised paper size ("A4", for example) or by giving dimensions. The units used can be specified ("mm" or "in", etc) and are the same as those used in TeX. The default unit is a bp, or a PostScript point, unlike TeX.

PyScript is a python module for producing high quality postscript graphics. Rather than use a GUI to draw a picture, the picture is programmed using python and the PyScript objects. Some of the key features are: * All scripting is done in python, which is a high level, easy to learn, well-developed scripting language. * All the objects can be translated, scaled, rotated, ... in fact any affine transformation. * Plain text is automatically kerned. * You can place arbitrary LaTeX expressions on your figures. * You can create your own figure objects, and develop a library of figure primitives. * Output is publication quality.

This is a set of three simple tools written in sh(1) for generating single patches for use in Ports. This set is ideal for creating a new patch when it is inconvenient or undesirable to use the "make makepatch" utility. The first tool is "dupe" which is a quick copy utility. The second tool is "genpatch" which creates patches in the standards diff format and using the standard file name conventions. The last tool is "portfix" which runs "dupe", an editor of choice, and "genpatch" serially as a macro as a convenient and quick way to create port patches. Please see the dupe, genpatch, and portfix man pages for details.

After examining Tripwire and deciding that it was *way* overkill for my own purposes... ...L5 simply walks down Unix or DOS filesystems, sort of like "ls -R" or "find" would, generating listings of anything it finds there. It tells you everything it can about a file's status, and adds on an MD5 hash of it. Its output is rather "numeric", but it is a very simple format and is designed to be post-treated by scripts that call L5... ...Unlike Tripwire itself, this is NOT a complete toolkit -- one is expected to use it as a small, reliable part of a larger system... _H* Andrew McNaughton <andrew@scoop.co.nz>

BASE is the Basic Analysis and Security Engine. It is based on the code from the ACID project. This application provides a PHP-based web front-end to query and analyze the alerts coming from a Snort IDS system. BASE is a web interface to perform analysis of intrusions that Snort has detected on your network. It uses a user authentication and role-base system, so that you as the security admin can decide what and how much information each user can see. It also has a simple to use, web-based setup program for people not comfortable with editing files directly.

OpenID is a decentralized identity system, but one that's actually decentralized and doesn't entirely crumble if one company turns evil or goes out of business. An OpenID identity is just a URL. You can have multiple identities in the same way you can have multiple URLs. All OpenID does is provide a way to prove that you own a URL (identity). Anybody can run their own site using OpenID, and anybody can be an OpenID server, and they all work with each other without having to register with or pay anybody to "get started". An owner of a URL can pick which OpenID server to use.
