Recvnet is the inverse of telnet. Instead of connecting to some host,
it listens on a port for incoming connections. When a connection is made,
you can type a response which will be sent to the client.
This tool has proven to be very useful while debugging Web browsers, httping,
and others.
This is a PAM module which will create the $HOME for the user authenticated,
if it's not already there. It also copies over files from a skel directory
( default /usr/share/skel ) and can set the permission of the newly created
$HOME to a value of your choice
This is the familiar Linux "watch" utility originally written by Tony
Rems <rembo@unisoft.com> with help from Francois Pinard and more recently
Mike Coleman <mkc@acm.org>. I found it useful, so here it is. Basically
"watches" the output of a given command at a specified interval in a nice,
ncurses-based format.

The author has not found any simple programs that listen on a device and
run commands based on the values received.
keyboard-daemon binds to a device (for example, a remote control) and
listens for button presses. These are then mapped to programs that are
executed.
mdcp (Muli-Device Copy) is a command-line utility for *nix that provide
to copy from a disk device to many. The data transfer rate is improved
by making use of a much more efficient use of the transfer rate of the disks.
pwd_unmkdb is a program to do the opposite of pwd_mkdb(8). That is, to
give you a textual master.passwd file from a hashed spwd.db database.
Useful if you delete or corrupt master.passwd, and don't have an
up-to-date backup.
The Parse::FixedLength module facilitates the process of breaking a
string into its fixed-length components. Sure, it's a glorified (and in
some ways more limited) substitute for the perl functions pack and
unpack, but it's the author's belief that this module helps in the
maintainability of working with fixed length formats as the number of
fields in a format grows.
XML::Twig - Tree interface to XML documents allowing chunk by chunk
processing of huge documents.
From the website:
XML-Twig is a Perl module that subclasses XML-Parser to allow easy
processing of XML documents of all sizes. A flush method allows dumping of
a completely processed sub-document to be printed, thus allowing processing
of documents of any size.
mod_chroot makes running Apache in a secure chroot environment easy.
You don't need to create a special directory hierarchy containing
/dev, /lib, /etc...
mod_chroot allows you to run Apache in a chroot jail with no additional files.
The chroot() system call is performed at the end of startup procedure - when
all libraries are loaded and log files open.
