Apple's Time Machine is a great feature in their OS, and FreeBSD has almost all of the required technology already built in to recreate it. This is a simple GUI to make it easy to use.

This library comes from the gksu program. It provides a simple API to use su and sudo in programs that need to execute tasks as other user. It provides X authentication facilities for running programs in a X session.

This library is intended to be used by applications that need to communicate with (or at least identify) devices that are attached via a parallel port. The aim of this library is to take all the worry about the above wrinkles from the application. It will figure out which methods are appropriate for the currently running kernel (or operating system).

libretto-config - Libretto BIOS Setting Program The `libretto-config' is a utility program to configure the BIOS setting of the mini notebook computer, Toshiba Libretto. Changes to the setting are immediately done, so rebooting is not necessary. I don't know whether these programs work on any other machines but Libretto. In case of Toshiba's notebook machines, some function may work. *** Disclaimer ***************************************************** The information used to write these programs was obtained by analyzing Libretto individually, not provided by Toshiba. Therefore, they might contain fatal bugs and might cause damages to your Libretto. You can use them freely but the authors are not responsible for the programs. Redistribution of the programs are not restricted, but you must attach this caution and the source. ******************************************************************** The original program were written by Mr. Iizuka (PXN02133@niftyserve.or.jp), which rewrite the CMOS setting directly. Mr. Nomura (GBB00111@niftyserve.or.jp) have extended the program to support SMI and BIOS calling. Thanks. I, Ishioka, combined programs to the package. If you have any troubles, bug reports, or requests, please notify me.

The libutempter library provides interface for terminal emulators such as screen and xterm to record user sessions to utmp and wtmp files. The utempter is a privileged helper used by libutempter library to manipulate utmp and wtmp files. This implementation is based on ideas of RedHat's utempter by Erik Troan (version 0.5.2 at the moment of writing). There are two interfaces supported: old and new. New API is recommended for new applications, old - for compatibility with old software.

Life-Preserver provides ZFS snapshot and replication management along with restore functionality. Used by PC-BSD and has an optional Qt4 based UI interface.

On FreeBSD, it's possible to allow plain users to mount filesystems without using su or sudo. This is enabled via vfs.usermount sysctl. However, if file name conversion is used when mounting a filesystem, in most cases mount will fail with `mount_XXX: XXX_iconv: Operation not permitted denied' error. This is caused by the fact that character set conversion tables need to be loaded into kernel, but, apart from mounting, that's not allowed to plain users, because charset tables are large enough to initiate a denial of service by filling kernel memory with many tables. This utility allows you to load only specific charset tables into kernel, so usermounts with file name conversions won't fail and in the same time it's not possible to bring the system down by filling kernel memory.

LinEAK is a utility designed to enable the use and configuration of those special keys on Internet, Easy Access and Multimedia keyboards in Linux (and other unices, like now FreeBSD).

This is a small script to find kernel modules more easy.

The kldpatch utility can print or alter the content of device/quirk tables in kernel modules. These tables are generally used to identify devices, and possibly apply specific quirks to enable/disable certain features. Kldpatch is especially useful to let the kernel recognise a new device without rebooting and rebuilding/reinstalling kernel or modules.
