smbclient is samba client with an "ftp like" interface. It is a useful tool to
test connectivity to a Windows share. It can be used to transfer files, or to
look at share names. In addition, it has a nifty ability to 'tar' (backup) and
restore files from a server to a client and visa versa.
The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD
operating system. These programs deliver most of the important
functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support
remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager
compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients can
connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive, or
FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers.
Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan
Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT.
Samba4 is an attempt to implement an Active Directory compatible Domain
Controller.
In short, you can join a WinNT, Win2000, WinXP or Win2003 member server
to a Samba4 domain, and it will behave much as it does in AD, including
Kerberos domain logins where applicable.

UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses
in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland
implementation of the secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy
Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's alternative to the VRRP).
Libkvkontakte is a KDE C++ interface for VK (http://vk.com).
A tool to quickly ping N number of hosts to determine their reachability
without flooding the network.
fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of
hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists
of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or
replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next
host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and
removed from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond
within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered
unreachable.
Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts and its
output is easy to parse.
Spread is a toolkit and daemon that provide multicast and group communications
support to applications across local and wide area networks. Spread is designed
to make it easy to write groupware, networked multimedia, reliable server, and
collaborative work applications.
Spread consists of a library that user applications are linked with, a binary
daemon which runs on each computer that is part of the processor group, and
various utility and demonstration programs.
Enhanced version of VNC, called TightVNC (grown from the VNC Tight Encoder
project), which is optimized to work over slow network connections such as
low-speed modem links. While original VNC may be very slow when your
connection is not fast enough, with TightVNC you can work remotely almost
in real time in most environments. Besides bandwidth optimizations,TightVNC
also includes many other improvements, optimizations and bugfixes over VNC.
Note that TightVNC is free, cross-platform and compatible with the standard
VNC.
