Internet
Security
System :: Networking
About: Astaro Command Center (ACC) is an application for centralized
management of Astaros gateway products. With ACC, network administrators
can easily manage and control multiple Astaro devices. The two separated
Web-Based GUIs (WebAdmin and Gateway Manager) enable the split of
ACC-system administration and role-based Gateway monitoring and can be also
implemented in existing Active Directory or eDirectory environments.
provides an effective overview that details the actual health of each
device, swiftly allowing administrators to see which gateways require more
attention or immediate action (by reason of e.g. threat level, license, or
CPU/memory/disk usage). Over the one-click WebAdmin SSO to each connected
gateway, it is possible to react instantly if necessary.
Changes: This Up2date improves the handling for stale sessions in Gateway
Manager, adds support for the shortcut "any" device group, and enhances the
performance for the filter bar. It also fixes some bugs in the frontend and
backend.

Tue, Dec 9th 2008 10:44
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Systems Administration
About: Etch is a tool for system configuration management. It manages the
configuration files of the operating system and core applications. It is
easy for a professional system administrator to start using, yet is
scalable to large and complex environments.
Changes: Support for a server killswitch was added. A bug in the handling
of setup commands was fixed. They were being run after the etch client
copied and saved the original file, thus defeating the point. Bugs where
scripts being used to decide about links, directories, and deletes returned
no contents, thus indicating no action is to be performed, were fixed. The
server did not handle that properly, sending bogus instructions to the
client which caused the client to abort.

System :: Archiving :: Compression
About: Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm,
with very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to
the one of bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution.

[035] - mbootpack 0.6a
by Tim Deegan (http://freshmeat.net/users/tjd/)
Tue, Dec 9th 2008 13:48
System :: Boot
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: mbootpack is a tool that takes a Multiboot kernel and modules (e.g.
a Xen VMM or a xen-linux kernel and initrd), and packages them up as a
single file that looks like a bzImage Linux kernel. The aim is to allow you
to boot Multiboot kernels (specifically, Xen) using bootloaders that don't
support the Multiboot standard (i.e. pretty much anything except GRUB).
Changes: The "-t" flag was added to strip out paths when making module
command-lines. The layout was fixed for kernels that load above 1MB; they
are now loaded at 1MB and relocated at boot time instead of having a lot of
zeroes in the output file. 64-bit compiles were made to work properly.
