Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals fairly gracefully
with potential input data corruption. Supports multi-volume
archives during interactive operation. Afio can make
compressed archives that are much safer than compressed tar,
or cpio archives. Afio has a tremendous number of options.
Afio might be best used as an `archive engine' in a backup
script.
slack is an evolution from the usual "put files in some central directory"
that is fairly common practice. It's descended from an earlier system its
author also wrote, called "subsets", and uses a multi-stage rsync to fix
some of the problems he had there.
Basically, it's a glorified wrapper around rsync.

Condor is a open-source, specialized workload management system for
compute-intensive jobs. Like other full-featured batch systems, Condor
provides a job queuing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme,
resource monitoring, and resource management. Users submit their serial
or parallel jobs to Condor, Condor places them into a queue, chooses
when and where to run the jobs based upon a policy, carefully monitors
their progress, and ultimately informs the user upon completion. Condor
also contains mechanisms to submit jobs to grid-sites and supports many
different grid toolkits.
It is developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Department
of Computer Sciences.
confman is a configuration manager written in bash. confman uses Subversion to

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.
