This program is a very basic interface to Paul Vixie's RBL filter. The basic idea of the filter is that when someone is blacklisted for an email abuse, a new domain name is resolved in the form of "a.b.c.d.rbl.maps.vix.com", where "a.b.c.d" is actually the IP address "d.c.b.a". For example, if the IP address 127.0.0.2 were listed as a blacklisted address, "2.0.0.127.rbl.maps.vix.com" would have a DNS entry (this is a real example; that address is in place as a verification mechanism). For more information about the RBL blacklist, please take a look at http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ . For more information about BIND, drop by http://www.isc.org/bind.html . The official home page for rblcheck is at http://www.xnet.com/~emarshal/rblcheck/ . Any ideas, bugfixes, or porting notes should be sent to me at "emarshal@logic.net". Don't bug the MAPS people about this; they didn't write it, and probably wouldn't like getting a bunch of mail about it.

Newsstar fetches news and posts it to a local server; INN, s-news and sn are supported, and it should be easy to adapt for other servers with some configuration and extra scripts. It's designed for Unix-like systems, and all the development was done on Linux. There are already plenty of other programs to do this, but what makes newsstar special is that it can make multiple simultaneous connections, not only to one server, but to several, supporting up to 10 threads. Before fetching each article it checks that it hasn't already been downloaded by another thread or in a previous session. It can also pipeline article requests to make better use of available bandwidth. I wrote it because a number of ISPs I have used suffer from unreliable newsfeeds. There is an excellent free server made available by news.individual.net, but it can be a bit slow at times, and using external servers uses more bandwidth. Therefore I wanted a program which could fetch whatever articles my ISP has available, but use the foreign server to avoid missing posts or getting them very late, and to do it as fast as possible.

HTML_Template_Flexy started it's life as a simplification of HTML_Template_Xipe, however in Version 0.2, It became one of the first template engine to use a real Lexer, rather than regex'es, making it possible to do things like ASP.net or Cold Fusion tags.

Rancid monitors a router's (or device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc), using CVS. Rancid currently supports Bay routers, Cisco routers, Juniper routers, Catalyst switches, Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd (and thus likely IRRd), Alteon switches, HP Procurve switches, Hitachi routers. Rancid logs into each of the devices in a router table file, runs various commands, chomps the output, and emails any differences from the previous collection to a mail list. A looking glass is also included with rancid, based on Ed Kern's in use on http://nitrous.digex.net/. Rancid version has added functions, supports Cisco, Juniper, and Foundry and uses the login scripts that come with rancid; so it can use rsh, telnet, or ssh to connect to your router(s).

Graphic Counter Language is a powerful programming language for the creation of graphic and textual counters and timers. These can be used on the web, as well as in graphic application programs (such as XWindow applications) which can call the GCL interpeter internally and have it create a counter or a timer. Gracula is the compiler/interpreter for Graphic Counter Language, developed under FreeBSD, though usable on any Unix system. For details about the language, visit GCL home page (www.whizkidtech.net/gcl/) as well as Count Gracula's Gallery (www.whizkidtech.redprince.net/gcl/gallery) which contains a number of sample GCL scripts and showcases various counter designs. GCL requires no configuration files. All you provide is graphic images and simple scripts. Optionally, you may link the images directly into the gracula executable. GCL can also receive input from external programs. A sample program is included (sec2000). It allows the creation of GCL counters to display the number of seconds (or minutes, hours, days) left till the Year 2000. Gracula is written in C and highly optimized for speed which makes it work reliably even on the busiest web sites.
