[011] - DansGuardian 0.7.2 (Default)
by Daniel Barron (http://freshmeat.net/users/dansguardian/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 13:00
DansGuardian is a filtering proxy that uses Squid to do all the fetching.
It filters using four methods. First, it checks the actual content of the
pages against a configurable denied phrase list. This list will contain
profanities and phrases often associated with pornography and other
undesirable content. Second, it implements PICS filtering. Third it checks
the MIME type of the requested file and checks this against a configurable
denied MIME type list. Fourth it checks the file extension of the requested
file against a configurable denied file extension list. The filtering has a
configurable url exception list. It does not implement a url check against
a list of sites like squidGuard; it checks the actual content of the pages.
Changes: Filtering by both by MIME type and file extension in addition to
content and PICS filtering, changing the running user ID to squid from root
for added security, a fix for a bug with the denied reporting URL code,
removal of all compiler warnings by correct casting, a fix for a bug in
overloaded

by Jeff Craig (http://freshmeat.net/users/foxxtrot/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 16:35
Matrix Math is software to quickly and easily compute functions of matrices
of any size. It supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, inversion,
division, and will support whatever else is necessary.
Changes: Better documentation inside the code, a fix for the
reduce_matrix() function, and discovery of serious bugs in the
determinant() and inverse() functions.

[035] - mpg321 0.0.2 (Development)
by Joe Drew (http://freshmeat.net/users/hoserhead/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 04:34
mpg321 is a command-line mp3 player, based on the smpeg library. It is
designed to be a drop-in replacement of mpg123, and therefore its interface
has been designed around that shown by mpg123, without using any of its
code. It currently has enough functionality to run gqmpeg (at the least).
Changes: This release includes a fix for some free()ing of buffers, a fix
for no-op instructions which take parameters, a -q/--quiet command, updated
installation instructions, and garbage being sent to stdout has been
removed.

[036] - NISCA 1.01 beta (Default)
by Brett Baugh (http://freshmeat.net/users/Phee/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 04:25
NISCA (Network Interface Statistics Collection Agent) is a more flexible
PHP4-based MRTG replacement. It supports both SNMP and reading localhost's
/proc/net/dev device file directly for statistics gathering. It uses MySQL
to store collected data in, and stores statistics for bytes transferred,
packets transferred, transfer errors, and dropped packets separated into a
per interace incoming and outgoing set. An SNMP setup utility is provided
to generate a list of all the known interfaces, which eases setting up. It
generates both graphs and a textual report table using the data from any
timeframe contained in the database. The entire package runs using PHP4; it
uses the CGI binary version of PHP for stats collection (running in the
backround as a daemon) and either the CGI or Apache module versions to
generate the GUI form and reports. It can also import your existing MRTG
logfiles.
Changes: This release includes a script to allow the importing of MRTG log
files.

[037] - Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.2.18-ow4 (Default)
by Solar Designer (http://freshmeat.net/users/solardiz/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 16:17
The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security "hardening"
features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new features, some
versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The "hardening"
features of the patch, while not a complete method of protection, provide
an extra layer of security against the easier ways to exploit certain
classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of those
vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to the
system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not see
what others are doing.
Changes: Fixes for the two recently announced Linux kernel vulnerabilities
(information leak in sysctl(2) and a race condition in execve(2)).

[040] - Perl DNSTools 0.1 (Default)
by Jason Woodward (http://freshmeat.net/users/jaos/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 13:31
Perl DNSTools consists of a main Perl program that will parse your DNS
tree, giving you a listing via stdout, or inserting the information into a
MySQL database. It can then generate a DNS tree (or a single domain entry)
via the database into any directory specified. Also included in the package
is a Perl-CGI for managing the database and a Perl cron that will check to
see if the database and DNS tree are out of sync and update accordly (only
the domains that have been modified).
Changes: Regexps for reading in the DNS directories/files may or may not
work depending on format of DNS db files.

[041] - PHP::HTML 0.6.1 (development)
by Idanso (http://freshmeat.net/users/idanso/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 16:21
PHP::HTML is a set of PHP classes to abstract HTML and simplify complex Web
application development. Reusable widgets can be based on the abstract
classes which include a text-only class, text which marked-up with HTML,
and a tag which contains multiple "children". PHP::HTML is currently in
active development to make it cleaner, and to add support for CSS and
support for "emulation" that will create HTML 3.2 documents for browser
compatibility.
Changes: A backport of XHTML table support from 0.5.x.

[042] - PHPMyEdit 2.2 (Default)
by John McCreesh (http://freshmeat.net/users/jpmcc/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 13:46
PHPMyEdit generates PHP code for displaying/editing MySQL tables in HTML.
It includes sorting, filtering, table lookups, and more.
Changes: Generation of JavaScript to ensure user enters values for fields
marked as required, SETUP.PHP marks 'not_null' fields as required by
default, and PHPMyEdit.PHP no longer requires 'sort_open_tag' to be set to
false. You may enable/disable filter functionality via $OPTIONS (to use
the filter functionality, you must now have 'F' in $OPTIONS in your calling
program. This is set automatically by SETUP.PHP in version 2.2, but is not
backwards compatible).

[044] - psycopg 0.1 (development)
by Federico Di Gregorio (http://freshmeat.net/users/fog/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 13:19
psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language (just like pygresql and popy). Its main advantages are that it
supports the full Python DBAPI 2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2. It
was designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and
destroy lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs
or UPDATEs.

by ivan5242 (http://freshmeat.net/users/ivan5242/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 14:42
Rocks'n'Diamonds is an arcade style game for color X11 with stereo sounds.
It's a game like "Boulderdash" (C64), "Emerald Mine" (Amiga) and "Supaplex"
(PC). Included are many levels known from the games "Boulderdash," "Emerald
Mine," "Sokoban" and "Supaplex," and a lot of new levels designed by other

Saturday, February 10th 2001 14:09
SAMPEG is a software-only MPEG-1/2 video encoder targeted for optimum
picture quality. To achieve this, it uses scene change rate control,
adaptive quantization and a rich set of motion vector estimation
algorithms. It is parallelized to run efficiently on SMP machines with an
arbitrary number of processors. Moreover, it is optimized to use MMX
instructions on x86 processors and VIS on Ultra-Sparc processors.

[051] - Simkin 1.12 (Default)
by Simon Whiteside (http://freshmeat.net/users/swhiteside/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 14:28
Simkin is a scripting language for Java/XML. Simkin is designed to let your
users control all or part of your Java application. They write scripts in a
very simple scripting language which can be embedded in XML. The scripts
can call down into the API you've exposed from your Java classes. You write
the mechanism, your users write the policy.
Changes: Support for a null object, a new enumerate() method to enumerate
over XML and TreeNode elements, a more flexible expression syntax (you can
now write a=b.c().d()), a new "!=" (not equal to) operator, and fixes for
some errors where attributes could not be said.

[052] - super 3.16.0 (Stable)
by CFuga (http://freshmeat.net/users/cfuga/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 03:52
Super allows an admin to control access to files and functions for users.
It is similar to sudo, but uses a different approach in the configuration
file. Super acts as a SetUID wrapper around system commands to make sure
the commands are executed safely, and only by authorized users.
Changes: This release includes PAM support, support for shadow passwords in
Digital Unix 4.x, fixes for HP-UX 11.0 with tcb enabled, a fix for an error
in printing a message when super is not running setuid-root, an option to
specify the prompt for passwords, improved description of some envvars,
correct processing of "die=message" options, and some minor readability
improvements.

[055] - Unitee 1.0.1 (Stable)
by Ishai Asa (http://freshmeat.net/users/ishai/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 04:23
Unitee is a Java testing framework and application used to build effective
test cases in Java, as an alternative to JUnit. Unlike JUnit, management
of the test data and the building of test cases and test suites are done
outside the scope of the test case, allowing the test case to be cleanly
written and reused. The project goals are configurability - seperation of
the test case code from the test data, developer productivity - very little
overhead for test cases' code, keeping test management seperate from test
cases theselves, and test case reusability.
Changes: This release fixes a problem which caused the XML file to not be
created on the first use, as well as improved site documentation.

[058] - Window Maker 0.64.0 (Default)
by LiM (http://freshmeat.net/users/lim/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 23:52
Window Maker is an X11 window manager designed to give additional
integration support to the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way
possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NeXTSTEP[tm] GUI.
It is fast, feature rich, easy to configure, and easy to use. In addition,
Window Maker works with GNOME and KDE, making it one of the most useful and
universal window managers available.
Changes: Fixes for a messup in get-{wings,wutil,wraster}-flags, a
#wmdatadir# substitution in wmaker.inst, broken panels, and
internationalization, removal of spurious focus disabling for GNUstep
applications, changing of window levels to match GNUstep, renaming se.po to
sv.po, a new version of wkdemenu.pl, updated Slovak translations,
integration of the no-polling patch, and a new wsetfont script.

[059] - wrr 010210 (Default)
by Christian Worm Mortensen (http://freshmeat.net/users/cwm2/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 16:33
The WRR scheduler is an extension to the Linux 2.2 kernels. It is able to
distribute the bandwidth to different machines at a site in a fair way. As
a default every machine will get equally much of the bandwidth if they have
sufficient demand, but it is possible to make machines transferring much
data over a long or short period of time get less bandwidth. A
plug-and-play ready set of scripts setting up such behavior based on a
configuration file is included. The scripts sets up a Linux bridge which
must be placed between the router and the rest of the site.
Changes: A fix for a critical bug that could make the machine hang, and
support for shaping in both directions on masquerading firewalls. The
example setup is much more general, useful, and less complicated; it
supports masquerading firewalls and bridges out of the box.

[061] - Zebedee 2.2.1 (Default)
by Neil Winton (http://freshmeat.net/users/ndwinton/)
Saturday, February 10th 2001 14:33
Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed "tunnel"
for TCP/IP or UDP data transfer between two systems. This allows traffic
such as telnet, FTP, and X to be protected from snooping as well as
potentially gaining performance over low-bandwidth networks from
compression. The main goals for Zebedee are to provide full client and
server functionality under both UNIX and Windows 95/98/NT, to be easy to
install, use, and maintain with little or no configuration required, and to
use only algorithms that are either unpatented or for which the patent has
expired.
Changes: A fix for a bug handling literal IP addresses in tunnel and target
specifications.
