Enteruser is an extensible script for adding new users to a FreeBSD
system. It can be used to enter a single user, and it can be invoked as
"queueuser" to add several users in batch. Unlike adduser(8), enteruser
uses pw(8) and can be used concurrently by multiple admins and techs to
add users to a system.
Enteruser is also designed to be extensible. Please see

MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes audio formats (currently
FLAC) to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. This was written to enable me to
use my FLAC collection with software and/or hardware which only understands
the MP3 format e.g. gmediaserver to a Netgear MP101 MP3 player.
It is also a novel alternative to traditional MP3 encoders. Just use your
favorite file browser to select the files you want encoded and copy them
somewhere!
This is a port of hourglass, a synthetic real-time application that
can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating
system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
- It creates very detailed map of when each Hourglass thread has
access to the CPU
- It supports multiple thread execution models; e.g. periodic and
CPU-bound
- It acts as an abstraction layer for threading, timing, and CPU
scheduling functionality on Unix- and Win32-based systems
Cfengine is an automated suite of programs for configuring and
maintaining Unix-like computers. It has been used on computing arrays
of between 1 and 20,000 computers since 1993 by a wide range of
organizations. Cfengine is supported by active research and was the
first autonomic, hands-free management system for Unix-like operating
systems. Cfengine is an autonomic maintenance system not merely a
change management roll-out tool. Cfengine has a history of security
and adaptability.
This port allows one to monitor other standalone services and
automatically restart them if they are accidentally and unwittingly
terminated, or crash either because of instability or a DoS attack.
It simplifies a task capable of being performed by cron(8) by not
requiring custom scripts to be written for each service being
monitored. The configuration file is simple and easily setup.
Note: version 0.4.1 has a different configuration file format and
any previous configuration file should be updated accordingly.
rar2fs is a FUSE based file system that can mount a source RAR
archive/volume or a directory containing any number of RAR
archives and access (read only) the contents as plain files/directories.
Other files located in the source directory are handled transparently.
Both compressed and non-compressed archives/volumes are supported but
full media seek support (aka. indexing) is only available for
non-compressed plaintext archives.

Sys::Filesystem is intended to be a portable interface to list and query
filesystem names and their properties. At the time of writing there were
only Solaris and Win32 modules available on CPAN to perform this kind of
operation. This module hopes to provide a consistant API to list all,
mounted, unmounted and special filesystems on a system, and query as
many properties as possible with common aliases wherever possible.

Re-Tail is a command line program which is intended as an intelligent
incremental logfile reader. It will read a file or group of files
given on the command line, and output any changes since last time it
read the file(s) in question. It will attempt to compensate if the
filesize changes unexpectedly, and will also attempt to compensate if
the file contents changes as well. It is not a very complex program.
