[010] - Database Abstraction Layer 0.3.6 (Development)
  by Patrick van Zweden (http://freshmeat.net/users/pvzweden/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 14:13

Category: Database :: Front-Ends

About: Database Abstraction Layer is a project to produce a general way to
access databases from within PHP. The DAL class takes care of the
administration involved with the different kinds of databases. DAL is
extendible via plugins so support for different dbms' can be added

very much has to be altered to support the new DBMS.

Changes: Somehow a serious bug slipped into the MySQL and mSQL drivers.
When executing insert queries, you always got an error. The query was
executed fine but the fetching of the last insert went wrong. This is
fixed, along with other things.

[028] - kChat 1.6
  by Marcin Krzyzanowski (http://freshmeat.net/users/krzyzak/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 14:27

Category: Communications :: Chat

About: kChat is a chat system that has a server-side moderated mode. A
client and server are included. It is currently working with its own
protocol, so it is not possible to connect with other clients (such as
IRC). It is written in Java.  

Changes: The server has undergone a protocol clean, and logout/kick has
been fixed with thread stop and real closed connections. There are smaller
client threads, a command parse global function, a configuration file, the
ability to log to a file, a reserved nicks list, a kChatPing thread, and
ping pong to detect inactive connections. The moderator password has been
omved to the configuration file. The client has been adapted to changes in
the protocol, has ping pong support, and has a new command parser.

[029] - keychain 1.7
  by Daniel Robbins (http://freshmeat.net/users/gentoo/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 13:35

Categories: Security, Utilities

About: keychain helps you to manage RSA and DSA keys in  a convenient and
secure manner. It acts as a  frontend to SSH-agent, but allows you to
easily  have one long running SSH-agent process per  system, rather than
the norm of one SSH-agent  per login session. This dramatically reduces the
 number of times you need to enter your  passphrase - with keychain, you
only need to enter  a passphrase once every time your local machine is 
rebooted. keychain also makes it easy for remote  cron jobs to securely
"hook in" to a long running  SSH-agent process, allowing your scripts to
take  advantage of RSA and DSA keys. 

Changes: Automatically taking advantage of procmail's lockfile command (if
present) to serialize the startup of multiple keychain processes
(preventing the "too many ssh-agents" bug; this fix is very handy if you've
configured your system to open multiple login xterms when you start your X
session), a ssh-agent kill fix, a Solaris output fix, Darwin/MacOS X path
fix, FreeBSD output fix, new short-style options (-k/-h for --stop and
--help respectively), and a new -q/--quiet option for less-verbose output.

  by S. Fuchs (http://freshmeat.net/users/sfuchs/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 11:49

Categories: Internet, System :: Networking

About: LineControl allows you to remotely control the Internet connection
of a Linux masquerading server using multiple clients. It takes care with
the number of clients using the connection and decides upon this number
whether the connection should be up or down. The clients show the time the
connection is up and throughput statistics. Different connection types are
supported, such as analog modems, ISDN, or even cable modems and ADSL
devices.

Changes: This release contains several bugfixes which attempt to eliminate
a segmentation fault. The segfault tracking code now works, as it didn't
work in 2.1.4.

Category: System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux

About: Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus
Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the
Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has
all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix kernel,

  by David F. Skoll (http://freshmeat.net/users/dskoll/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 13:08

Categories: Communications :: Email :: Filters, Security

About: MIMEDefang is a flexible MIME e-mail scanner designed to protect
Windows clients from viruses. It can alter or delete various parts of a
MIME message according to a very flexible configuration file. It can also
bounce messages with unacceptable attachments. MIMEDefang works with

procmail-based approaches. 

Changes: A completely reworked architecture similar to Apache's pre-forked
server approach which significantly reduces CPU consumption, documentation
of the communication protocol between mimedefang and the filters (you can
plug in your own filter written in the language of your choice if you
choose not to use the built-in Perl filter), and Sendmail 8.12
compatibility.

make it display the wrong report when doing multiple scans has been fixed.
The plugins filter has been enhanced. A serious problem in the SMB plugins
has been fixed. nessus-mkrand has been added for hosts with no /dev/random
and no EGD running.

[043] - Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.2.19-ow4
  by Solar Designer (http://freshmeat.net/users/solardiz/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 14:11

Categories: Security, System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux, System
:: Systems Administration

About: 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: This release fixes two Linux kernel vulnerabilities. It fixes a
(non-security) symbol export issue introduced with 2.2.19-ow3 and moves the
support for ELF executables which use an a.out format dynamic linker into a
separate configuration option.

[044] - Operating-Menu 2.0 beta1
  by aotto (http://freshmeat.net/users/aotto/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 12:18

Categories: Desktop Environment, System :: Monitoring, Terminals,
Utilities

About: Operating-Menu is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure ncurses-based
menu interface for the UNIX environment. It has three interesting features:
1) It is very small and focuses only on one task. 2) It creates an
impressive ncurses interface without using any external packages for TCL;
the whole interface depends on the standard UNIX command "tput". 3) It
distinguish between "Programmer" and "User" on a UNIX box; a powerful
configuration interface hides the software from the user.

Changes: The "tclterm" library is now used.

Categories: System :: Networking, Utilities

About: Pancho is a utility that allows Cisco Router  Administrators to make
changes to a single node,  or group of nodes, without requiring the admin
to  log into the individual router. It also provides  configuration
archiving functionality by allowing you  to copy the routers'
configurations to a remote  server manually or though an automated
process.

Changes: A bug that prevented the correct version number of the utility to
be displayed, and a bug that showed successful reload of the router when
the reload had actually failed, have both been fixed. The utility's
sub-routines have been significantly rewritten to make use of associated
arrays for passing date to nested routines.

  Monday, October 22nd 2001 12:43

Categories: Internet, Security, System :: Networking :: Firewalls, System
:: Systems Administration

About: rcf (aka rc.firewall) is an ipchains-based firewall with support for
over 50 network service modules (including vtun, DHCP, NFS, SMB, Napster,
proxies, online games, etc.), masquerading, port forwarding, and IP
accounting. All services are self-contained modules which can be
prioritized in the ipchains stack. Protections include spoofing, stuffed
routing/masqerading, DoS, smurf attacks, outgoing port scans, and many
more. rcf also supports unlimited public, private (masqu'ed), DMZ, and MZ
(non-masq'ed) interfaces and their subnets. Access rules are defined per
interface and DMZ/MZ server "clusters". rcf is compatible with Red Hat,
Slackware, Debian, Linux Router Project (LRP), and many other
distributions. 

Changes: The module port options were reworked. Support for marking packets
was added. Server, client, and port forwarding modules were added to
support the Apple Filing Protocol. Cluster operation on a number of modules
was fixed. Online-games modules were added to private interfaces, and
modules for MSN Gaming Zone and Starsiege Tribes were added. The FAQ was
updated with new questions about configuration, fail-over configuration
with multiple external interfaces, restarting of only one interface, and
new questions on development and CVS usage. Support was added for building
a Debian package for RCF by typing "make deb".

  by Ben Escoto (http://freshmeat.net/users/bescoto/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 06:29

Categories: System :: Archiving :: Backup, Utilities

About: rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another.  The target
directory ends up a copy of the source  directory, but extra reverse diffs
are stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost  some
time ago. The idea is to combine the best  features of a mirror and an
incremental backup.   rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth-
efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you  can use rdiff-backup
and ssh to securely back up to a remote location, and only the differences
will be transmitted.  It can also handle symlinks, device files,
permissions, ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire file system.

[060] - SQLite 2.0.7
  by D. Richard Hipp (http://freshmeat.net/users/drh/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 12:48

Category: Database :: Database Engines/Servers

About: SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A
large subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a
single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use.
Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexiblity of
an SQL database without the administrative hassles of supporting a separate
database server. Because it omits the client-server interaction overhead
and writes directly to disk, SQLite is also faster than the big database
servers for most operations. In addition to the C library, the SQLite
distribution includes a command-line tool for interacting nwith SQLite
databases and SQLite bindings for Tcl/Tk.  

Changes: Several small new features to support the (separately developed
and distributed) ODBC driver.

[067] - WLA DX 8.3
  by Ville Helin (http://freshmeat.net/users/vhelin/)
  Monday, October 22nd 2001 11:18

Categories: Software Development :: Assemblers, Software Development ::
Compilers

About: WLA DX is yet another macro assembler that can program the GB-Z80,
Z80, 6502, 6510, 65816, and SPC-700 CPUs. Included in the package there is
a GB-Z80 disassembler and few converters. WLA DX was initially programmed
to compile ROM images for Gameboy, but nowadays it can also patch existing
ROM images with code, and even compile program files and ROM files for
other CPUs like the NES-6502, C64-6510, and SNES's SPC-700.

Changes: The .INPUT directive was added. It is now possible to set the
bank/slot size to full 65536 bytes. The u switch was removed. The problem
where redefining a value definition to be a string definition would crash
WLA has been fixed. Support for SPC-700 systems was added. The class 4
mnemonic ("ADC #x", "LDA #x", etc) decoder for the 658 family now handles
labels correctly in 8bit operand mode. "SUB (IX+n)" was mistyped as "SUB A,
(IX+n)" in the Z80 processor code. The .SDSCTAG directive for the Z80
family was updated to support version 1.01 of the SDSC ROM Tag
Specification.
