cfv is a utility to both test and create .sfv, .csv, .crc, .md5(sfv-like), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and .torrent files. These files are commonly used to ensure the correct retrieval or storage of data.
cfv is written in python, and as such should run on all platforms python supports. Currently, it has been verified to work on linux, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, solaris, macosx, and windows.
Main features:
- supports testing and creating of .sfv, .csv(2, 3, and 4 field variants), .crc, sfvmd5(sfv file using md5 instead of crc32), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and BitTorrent file formats
- test-only support for PAR and PAR2 files
- automatic checksum file naming ability in create mode
- recursive operation
- show unverified files option
- ignore case and fix path seperator options for cross platform use
- transparent gzip support for checksum files
- configurable renaming of bad files (with testing against previous bad files, to save only unique differing copies)
- searching for/fixing of misnamed files
- raw listing of files of specified type (bad, missing, etc)
- test suite to ensure correct operation

RBBS is a bulletin board system with Web interface. Users of RBBS can post and response to articles. As the principal purpose of RBBS is to be used as such communication system as BBS, it is useful for individual use and for one-to-many communication. The following are features of RBBS.
Accessibility
Articles is structured into chapters, paragraphs, and so on in the text with XML. The appearance of articles is defined with style sheet. Since document structure and presentation are separated, transmission of information corresponding to various needs in the Web environment is attained. Moreover, because Wiki-style format is supported, you can write and edit articles easily.
Floating Threads
When a response is attached to an article, the order of the article becomes the top of the page. Since articles to which responses are often attached are displayed in an exhibitionist manner, users can catch up popular topics easily. Moreover, because each response is only by one line, lighthearted communication like chat is taken.
Atom Syndication
In order for users to check new articles and responses easily, Atom feeds are delivered. Using a news reader supporting Atom, users can check some news site and RBBS at the same time.
RBBS is available on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows (Cygwin). Other UNIX systems are also. As RBBS is implemented with the C language, no environment for running a scripting language is needed. RBBS is a free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Enhancements:
- User interface was enhanced.
- The format of the log file was modified.
- Release: 1.0.16

Torsmo is a system monitor that sits in the corner of your desktop.
Torsmo project is very simple, customizable and it renders only text on the desktop (and percentagebars if you want it to and the only lib it uses is Xlib.
Torsmo can show various information about your system and its peripherals.
Main features:
- Kernel version
- Uptime
- System time
- Network interface information
- Memory and swap usage
- Hostname
- Machine, i686 for example
- System name, Linux for example
- Temperatures from i2c-sensors
- Temperature from ACPI
- Battery capacity from ACPI/APM
- Number of processes running or sleeping
- Local mails (unread and all)
- Filesystem stats
Enhancements:
- Fixed some double buffer + Xft stuff
- Applied X-Mozilla-Status patch (thanks affinity)
- Applied NVCtrl patch and modified it a bit (temperature monitoring for nvdia-based graphics cards) (I couldnt test this so it may or may not work or even compile) (thanks Dennis Frommknecht)
- Applied fs_used_perc and fs_bar_free patch (thanks killfire [send me mail, I didnt catch your name from sourceforge])
- Applied patch that supports mailbox that is in some maildir format (thanks jolapache [send mail, I didnt catch your name from sourceforge])
- min -> m
- Applied pad_percents patch (thanks JL Farinacci)
- Fixed some stuff in acpi fan and acpi ac adapter
- Optional XFT even when compiled in

MESSyFront is a frontend for the MESS emulator. MESSyFronts main goal of the project is to get the user in to the emulation environment as quickly as possible.

The secondary goal is targetting Tandy Color Computer users that run Linux (or *nix envrionments). As interest grows, other target environments may be added.

eL DAPo is a PHP-based application for managing and querying LDAP servers. It can rename, modify, and delete LDAP entries, as well as modify, add, and delete attributes associated with an entry.
Search filters can be changed while a session is open, so users only have to bind with the LDAP server once.
eL DAPo also includes a configuration file to make it fit well to your current schema.
Enhancements:
- Fixed security bug where looking at index.phps source from the browser revealed the users password.
- Session code has been changed so that eL DAPo no longer relies on register_globals to be enabled.
- Fixed a intermittent bug where eL DAPo complains you have not selected a server or base dn.
- Set index.php to redirect to the login page if you have not logged in.
- Added a check to let the user know if they have not enabled the LDAP module for php.
- Code Cleanup

ttyrpld is a Kernel-based keylogger and screenlogger for Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and includes a real-time, tail-following log analyzer.
ttyrpld supports most tty types, including vc, bsd and unix98-style ptys (xterm/ssh), serial, isdn, etc.
Being implemented within the Kernel makes it unavoidable for the default user. Another benefit is that it runs with no overhead if the user-space logging daemon is not active.
ttyrpld consists of four components:
kpatch: The Kernel patch adds a few lines to provide the rpldev extension hooks, which (any) module can then get onto. The system was not directly written for black-hats who want to leave as little traces as possible, keep in mind.
rpldev: The Kernel module is responsible for grabbing the data off the tty line and providing a character device for the user-space logging daemon. Data grabbed of the tty is directly passed to the overlying daemons, so with the correct terminal settings you can get a 1:1 replay.
For systems where module loading is not possible (OpenBSD for example), these two components are integrated into the kpatch.
rpld: Having received the captured data, the logging daemon can store them in any format and/or facility, with or without compression, just as it likes, for this happens in user-space and thus you have all the fluffy libraries available. (That would not be the case from Kernel space.)
Enhancements:
- Fixed OpenBSD 3.9 kpatch
- Readded workaround for OpenBSD/NetBSD EINTR signal handling that got lost in 2.17
