Silktree updates the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on a list of child nodes via SSH. At the lowest level, six Debian system utilities are employed: {add,del}{user,group}, {user,group}mod. The information is transferred from the head-node to the child-nodes. Several sudo-capable mini-scripts on the child nodes ensure limitations while committing the changes. End-to-end checking ensures a reliable update.
BleachBit deletes junk to recover disk space and maintain privacy. It rids your system of old junk including cache, Internet history, temporary files, unused locale files (better than localepurge), logs, and cookies.
