Pexpect makes Python a better glue for controlling child applications. Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications; controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output. Pexpect works like Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script to spawn a child application and control it as if a human were typing commands. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use.

chrony is a pair of programs which are used to maintain the accuracy of the system clock on a computer; the two programs are called chronyd and chronyc. chronyd is a daemon which runs in background on the system. It obtains measurements via the network of the system clock's offset relative to time servers on other systems and adjusts the system time accordingly. For isolated systems, the user can periodically enter the correct time by hand (using chronyc). In either case, chronyd determines the rate at which the computer gains or loses time, and compensates for this. chronyd implements the NTP protocol and can act as either a client or a server. chronyc provides a user interface to chronyd for monitoring its performance and configuring various settings. It can do so while running on the same computer as the chronyd instance it is controlling or a different computer.

freevrrpd is a VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) implementation daemon under FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. This daemon has been rewritten from scratch and is not based on existing projects. In this second public release, you can find: * A daemon RFC 2338 Compliant adapted on FreeBSD systems * Implementation of Virtual Adresses * Support for multiples VRID * Master announce state by sending multicast packets via BPF * Changing routes and IP in 3 seconds * Doing gratuitous ARP requests to clean the cache of all hosts * Election between different slave servers * Same host can be Slave and Master at the same time * Automatic Downgrade to Slave if a Master is up again * Anti-Address Conflict system * Multi-threaded vrrp daemon * Plain text password authentication * Using now only one BPF device for all VRID * Support netmask for Virtual IP addresses * Support for monitored circuit and dependances between VRIDs * Support for VLAN pseudo devices under *BSD

The SuSE Proxy-Suite, a set of programs to enhance firewall security. The first (and currently only) component being released is the FTP-Proxy. * Securely relays FTP connections between clients and servers * Can switch connections from active to passive and vice versa * Utilizes port ranges for both control and data connections * Provides extensive auditing (via syslog or rotating log files) * Can separate user related from system triggered audit events * Provides command restriction based on logged in user name * Allows command argument checking with regular expressions * Is able to retrieve configuration data from an LDAP directory * Has been thoroughly tested against buffer overflow attacks * Fully conforms to RFC 959 and 1123 (the basic FTP RFCs) * Planned to support RFC 1579 ("Firewall Friendly FTP") * Planned to support RFC 2428 (IPv6 Extensions for FTP) * Based on GNU AutoConf, supposed to run on many UNIX systems Ported to FreeBSD using OpenBSD port by Camiel Dobbelaar <cd@sentia.nl>, with updates contributed by Marius Tomaschewski <mat@mt-home.net>.

This is a pure-python TCP load balancer. It takes inbound TCP connections and connects them to one of a number of backend servers. Features: - async i/o based, so much less overhead than fork/thread based balancers. Can use either twisted or python's standard asyncore library (twisted is recommended, and asyncore support will be removed in a future version). - Multiple scheduling algorithms (random, round robin, leastconns, leastconns+roundrobin) - If a server fails to answer, it's removed from the pool - the client that failed to connect gets transparently failed over to a new host. - XML based configuration file (see a sample) - separate management thread that periodically re-adds failed hosts if they've come back up. - optional builtin webserver for admin (sample of the running screen) - webserver has methods suitable for both interactive and automated systems

Net::Printer ============ Perl module for directly printing to a print server/printer without having to create a pipe to either lpr or lp. This essentially mimics what the BSD LPR program does by connecting directly to the line printer printer port (almost always 515), and transmitting the data and control information to the print server. Please note that this module only communicates with the BSD Line Printer Daemon Protocol as described in RFC-1179. It does not natively speak to remote print servers via SMB, Apple-Talk or Netware. Remote print services running lpsched, such as Sun Solaris or other Sys V-derived operating systems, will work so long as the print spoolers are set up to understand the BSD protocol. Most modern network-capable laser printers, such as those manufactured by HP and LexMark, also "speak" BSD.

Portscout is a tool which looks for new versions of software in the FreeBSD ports tree, and potentially other software repositories. It is also possible to provide an arbitrary list of software in a simple XML format. Various factors make this task a bit more difficult than it might initially seem. In particular, the array of weird and wonderful versioning schemes software vendors manage to come up with. Portscout spawns several child processes and does its version checking in parallel, while attempting to best-guess strange-looking version numbers, navigate around unhelpful sites and web servers, and contend with the CPU-heavy rapidly-expanding FreeBSD ports system. In addition to all this, it is possible to generate nice HTML reports and send reminder mails to interested parties.

bksh is a simple (some would say trivial) program designed to be used as a shell by ssh or rsh-like programs. All it does it to copy its input to a restricted set of backup files. It was made to allow administrators to create backup servers in potentially hostile environments without allowing full shell access to the server or the client. Features: - tape only or file & tape backups (compile-time config) - automatic file rotation allows keeping a history of backups - configurable number of files kept (static compile-time or dynamic) - allows naming of backup files on command line - works as a restricted shell to limit access to server - very simple and short ANSI C code, easy to audit

The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown, or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID file). The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove those stale process ID files. Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for the following conditions: - the file specified by the pidfile argument exists; - it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number; - there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if there is one, it is not named processname. If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation of the server to proceed normally.

Apache JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions. Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load. In addition to load-testing, the tool can also be used to verify correctness of your web-applications.
