uidentd (mu-identd) is a fast and secure identd/auth server. It runs on Linux and any other OS that provides the virtual files, /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6. It supports IPv6 natively. It is launched from a superserver such as xinetd or tcpserver and is supposedly resistant to buffer overflows since it is written in Perl. It supports configurable connection timeouts and multi-query as defined by RFC 1413.
sysv-rc-conf gives administrators an easy-to-use curses interface for managing /etc/rc{runlevel}.d/ symlinks. The interface comes in two different flavors, one that simply allows turning services on or off and another that allows for more fine tuned management of the symlinks. It's a replacement for programs like ntsysv or rcconf.
Bluecmd executes a command based on whether a bluetooth device can be found or not. It can be used, for example, to (un)lock your computer with a bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. It can detect a trusted bluetooth device by either l2ping or HCI name resolution, so the device can be invisible.
RLC is a tool that performs reciprocal link checking automatically. Simply tell it where the remote Web pages you wish to monitor are, and the URLs of your links. It will then crawl the remote Web pages and give you feedback on the latest status (found, link not found, or page not found/network error). You may activate the checking as needed, or set up cron to carry out the checking once a week or so.
@1 File Upload and Download Manager is a searchable flat text database manager for managing file uploading and downloading. It lets you define your own allowable file extensions and use your own icons. The default pre-defined extensions are pdf, zip, jpg, gif, png, doc, xls, mdb, ppt, txt, rm, mov, and wmv. File sizes and record dates are displayed in search results. The database can be categorized. The maximum file size allowed can be specified.
Gircap is a set of tools to help you use the widely unknown "capabilities" that Linux has in place of conventional Unix superuser privilege. That means you can give programs and processes only as much privilege as they need and greatly limit your security exposure due to system bugs. A Linux kernel patch fixes some basically broken aspects of capabilities. setcap and getcap let you set and show capabilities of a running process. capexec runs a program with certain capabilities, UID, GID, and supplemental GIDs. It can be used to have init start a daemon with only a subset of init's privileges. binfmt_capx is an executable interpreter in the form of a loadable kernel module. It lets you do a setuid kind of thing for files, only with fine grained capabilities. This is a cheap substitute for real "file capabilities."
