PDKSH is the Public Domain Korn Shell. Its command language is a
superset of the sh(1) shell language.
rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp and/or sftp.
It now also includes support for rdist, rsync, and CVS. For example, if you
have a server which you only want to allow users to copy files off of via scp,
without providing shell access, you can use rssh to do that.
In the Unix tradition, it works with things already there and fills
a empty niche. When incorporating it into your Unix environment, you
keep your command line shell, your editor, your pager, and access to
all your tools, tricks and know-how. Vshnu can operate as an
optional supplemental visual mode to your command line shell. You
switch between command line and visual mode easily as you wish. Your
interface bandwidth and power for Unix operations is on a higher
plane and life gets sweeter.
Catfish is a GTK based search utility.
This extension allows changing the current process' name on Linux and *BSD
systems. This is useful when using pcntl_fork() to identify running
processes in process list
Archivemount is a piece of glue code between libarchive
(http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/) and FUSE
(http://fuse.sourceforge.net). It can be used to mount a (possibly compressed)
archive (as in .tar.gz or .tar.bz2) and use it like an ordinary filesystem.
confman is a configuration manager written in bash. confman uses Subversion to
provide a revision-controlled environment for editing and deploying
configuration files. With confman, you can easily manage configuration files
for all or any subset of your machines.
ConsoleKit is a framework for defining and tracking users, login
sessions, and seats. The primary motivations for this framework are to
facilitate fast-user-switching and multi-seat capabilities, and to
enable more sophisticated policy decisions for desktop sessions.

Similar utilities to most of these exist in the FreeBSD base system,
but many of the GNU versions have added functionality that is
useful.
Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdate, gexpr, and gtest, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to them without the `g' prefix.
GNU su does not support a wheel group. This port installs it
without the suid bit, unless you define WITH_SUID while building.
dd_rescue is a dd tool with following features suitable for rescuing data from
a medium with errors.
- Don't abort on errors on the input file unless the user specify the maximum
error number.
- Don't truncate the output file.
- Can use two different block sizes for normal operation and the case of errors.
