Absolute BSD
by Dan Langille (http://www.langille.org/)
Section: Book Reviews
Saturday, December 7th 2002 00:00
Some of you may know me, either by name or by my work with FreeBSD. I will
bet that even more of you are familiar with Michael Lucas and his
widely-read and highly-regarded articles at OnLamp. It should come as no
surprise to those people that he has written a very good book on FreeBSD.
"Absolute BSD" came out in July 2002 and has proven to be a great resource
for people new to BSD and those who have been using it for years. Michael
Lucas has a writing style which is very easy to read and absorb.

Saturday, December 7th 2002 10:31
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
System :: Archiving :: Compression
System :: Emulators
About: AdvanceSCAN is a command line ROM manager for MAME, MESS,
AdvanceMAME, AdvanceMESS, and Raine for Unix, DOS, and Windows. It also
contains a recompression utility for your .ZIP ROMs, .PNG snapshots, and

[002] - AUTH_MD5 for PHP 0.30
by Wolfgang Gruber (http://freshmeat.net/users/arcolf/)
Saturday, December 7th 2002 23:40
About: AUTH_MD5 is a client- and server-based authentication framework
with a PHP and JavaScript class and challenge-response scheme. The server
generates for each request a new challenge, stores it in the session, and
transmits it to the client. If the client connects for the first time, the
server stores its IP address in the session. The client generates the md5
based on the password of the login form and the challenge, and sends it
together with the login to the server. Then the server computes a md5 from
the stored challenge and the password and compares it with the md5 from
the client. If they match, the user is authenticated. For each following
request of the client the md5 of password and challenge will be checked.
Changes: This version includes better Javascript support, improves the
challenge, moves all session variables to the associative array _AUTH_MD5,
changes the request parameter from MD5 to auth, adds a time out function,
fixes a problem where if the server had a port number specified, the
rewriteLink method failed, and separates the challenge and salt of the
first response.

[004] - cgipaf 1.2.0 (Stable)
by staf (http://freshmeat.net/users/stafwag/)
Saturday, December 7th 2002 11:41
Communications :: Email
About: cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which
allow users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users
to view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS configuration
when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc in the
user's home directory. A user with too many invalid logins can be locked.
The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the configuration file, so you
can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed to use cgipaf.
Changes: Access Control List support was added in the form of the
AclOrder, AllowUsers, AllowGroups, DenyUsers, and DenyGroups directives.
passwd.cgi should now support all pam options in the PAM configuration
(cracklib, minimum/ maximum password length etc.) on all systems with PAM
support.

were made.

System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
Utilities
About: fauxident is a small Python script that will act as an extremely
naive ident server, answering all ident requests with a consistent
response (either ERROR or USERID). This can be advantageous on systems
where running a true identd is unavailable, where it would be would be a
security risk, or when masquerading firewalls are in use, where multiple
machines are involved behind the firewall and running a proper ident
system is not an option.
Changes: Multiple user names may now be chosen randomly from a list.
Support for suffixing a random number of a given length was added. The -V
option was changed to display version information. The documentation was
improved.

Changes: If disk stats from /proc/partitions are available (a recent Linux
kernel compiled with the .config option CONFIG_BLK_STATS=y) the disk
monitor will report data from all disks and partitions listed there. The
battery monitor can now display multiple batteries. The theme scaling was
improved to work with all themes.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: phppdflib is a PHP class that allows dynamic generation of PDF
files. It focuses on being easy to use, without requiring special Web
server configuration. It currently supports automatic JPEG image
embedding, as well as manual embedding of bitmapped image formats. Several
methods of text placement (specifically designed for easy layout) are
supported.
Changes: This version fixes some bugs, such as a broken word_wrap()
function and a discrepency between the text encoding and the strlen()
function. An 'align' paramter has been added to the paragraph functions to
control text alignment. Code cleanup has been done to remove warnings when
PHP is configured at a high reporting level. Compression has been extended
to JFIF images, which further reduces resultant PDF sizes. More work has
been done on the documentation, and it's fairly complete now.

Saturday, December 7th 2002 01:18
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development
About: This Tiny Vector and Matrix template library uses Meta Templates
and Expression Templates (ET) to evaluate results at compile time, thus
making it fast for low-end systems. Temporaries are avoided because of
this. The produced code is similar to hand-coded code, but the quality of
the code still depends on the compiler and its version. The dimensions for
vectors and matrices are static and bounded at compile time using template
arguments.
Changes: This release fixes some small bugs and enhances functionality and
portability. It also includes benchmarks against blitz++, ublas, and MTL.
