Free admin report kit for active directory software for linux

Now theres Java performance on Linux thats as fast as on Windows! IBM developerWorks has released IBMs latest Java port for Linux, the Java 1.1.8 Developer Kit for Linux. This new version, available for free, is a stable, high-performance implementation of Java on Linux.

SRG is a Squid Report Generator designed for the needs of CRCnet. None of the existing report generators could provide the exact solution that we required and we decided to start from scratch rather than trying to modify an existing progamme.
SRG is designed to be fast and easy to integrate in to other authentication systems (such as those that are driving Squid itself).
Main features:
- PHP Output with built in authentication hooks
- Fast Processing
- Reporting right down the the location vistied
Enhancements:
- Fixed assertion failure when output directory contains a subdirectory with an invalid name.
- Fixed compilation problems on sparc64. Endianess problems.
- Fixed bug with localtime using a static buffer (or similar) which caused the Period to be misreported as firstdate - firstdate.
- Marked -A, -c, -D, -e, -L, -p, -P and -T as deprecated. See FAQ for details.
- Added option (-r) to allow sorting output reports by any column via javascript
- Added meta tags to prevent indexing of reports by robots
- Minor stylesheet updates
- SRG now defaults to generating location reports
- SRG now defaults to showing the requesting host in location reports
- -H is now used only to specify whether DNS lookups should be performed
- Fix some minor output formatting errors reported by Guiliano Cioffi
- Added some example scripts for generating SRG reports
- Added basic debian package

Fedora Directory Server is a full-featured LDAPv3 compliant server.

In addition to the standard LDAPv3 operations, Fedora Directory Server supports multi-master replication, fully online configuration and administration, chaining, virtual attributes, access control directives in the data, Virtual List View, server-side sorting, SASL, TLS/SSL, and many other features.

The transactional Berkeley DB 4.2 is used as its data store and a full plug-in API allows developers to extend the the functionality of the server in many ways, and many of the core features of the server are already implemented using this API.

The server is very mature, having started out as Netscape Directory Server.

Expense Report Software project allows administrators to track and approve expenses for their workforce.
Users can log in and create expense reports and then add expense items. Admin users can then log in and approve items, or leave comments in the report.
An email can be sent to the user when an expense item is approved or not approved.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a small bug found in the library file for the system.

NCurses Development Kit for C++ provides a set of widgets for text user interface like menubars, popup menus, various dialog boxes, and controls (push buttons, check buttons etc.). Using this library you can easy create a powefull console program with compicated interface. А powerfull event engine allows you to create a various dynamic widgets.

There are two big branches of this library avaliable - main (head) and the ALT:

Main - original NDK++ library. This library is an extention of libncurses++ library. Event system is working like MFC.

ALT - full rewrite and redesign of the previous code. It not a superset of libncurses++ library, it uses only ncurses and panel libraries. It also uses a new event engine.

Linbox Directory Server (LDS), along with the Linbox Management Console (LMC), is a powerful system that allows developers, system administrators, and other software vendors to manage users, groups, and their associated policies in an LDAP server.
Linbox Directory Server is highly ergonomic interface design makes it very easy to use, and delegation of administration enables medium size organization to adopt LDS.
Enhancements:
- New features and improvements include DNS/DHCP management and a Norwegian translation.
- The new DNS/DHCP module allows you to manage DNS zones and DHCP subnets for a typical LAN environment.

Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a 100% free CD bootable Linux distribution aimed specifically at offline operations for Windows and Linux systems such as rescue, repair, password resets and cloning, with the ability to update itself.
It has custom tools to easily recover data such as deleted files, clone Windows installations over the network, perform antivirus sweeps with 2 different antivirus products, reset windows passwords, read AND write on NTFS partitions, edit
partition layout and much much more.
Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1 is the evolved version of 3.0 and a complete rewrite of version 1.1 and the unfinished 2.0. It s mostly based on Mandrake 10.2 (Mandriva 2005) binaries and heavily adapted startup scripts.
What s new since 3.0?
- self update capability: TRK now has a script that will download/search all non-GPL
licensed software, like the Microsoft ntfs
drivers or F-prot. It will also update antivirus definitions for F-prot and Clamav.
Afterwards, it will recreate itself as a new iso
file which you can burn again to CD
- new version of captive-ntfs, using the latest XP SP2 drivers and LUFS
- clamav 0.88-1
- mkisofs, cdrecord, pico, cfdisk
- eject CD (was bug in build 204) and powerdown on halt
What s new since 1.1 (and 2.0):
- more hardware support:
kernel 2.6.14.3 with most default options left on, so all important hardware like
disc controllers and network cards are supported, even SATA disks, USB storage and gigabit ethernet. Also patched with lufs (for ntfs support) and bootsplash (background graphics)
- better network capability: besides all common network client tools, you can also run a secure shell server for remote access or TRK to TRK file copies
- run completely from memory: provided you have at least 192Mb of ram, you can run TRK from memory and eject the CD once it has booted, giving you the ability to mount other CDs
- vesa framebuffer support: TRK now has limited graphical support thanks to kernel
builtin framebuffer support.
- qtparted: the famous PQMagic clone. Partition editing never been this easy thanks to the graphical interface this tool uses (via framebuffer)
- configure your LAN to be "TRK 3 compliant": you can change the way a TRK behaves by adding an otherwise unused parameter to your DHCP server to point to a webserver where you keep specific configuration data for your TRK such as proxy settings or complete scripts with which you can do anything you want
- run scripts from a local computer by searching for /.trk/trklocal.conf
- full NTFS write support thanks to the captive ntfs project by Jan Kratochvil.
- more NTFS write support with the NTFS Fuse driver.
- Secure Shell server: let a user boot from TRK, enter a new password for root and
connect to TRK remotely
Featuring home brewed scripts, new and improved:
- updatetrk (since 3.1): updates TRK with ntfs drivers, F-prot + definitions and
Clamav definitions. When the script is run without arguments, it looks for a Windows pagefile.sys, creates a loopback filesystem on it and creates TRK from there. Afterwards it copies the new isofile to C: emp, from where you can burn it to CD again
- clonexp: script that uses ntfsclone to perform copies of ntfs filesystems between
two computers each running their copy of Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1. One PC copies his Windows installation over the network to another PC running a TRK 3.1 with a secure shell server enabled. An easy way to clone Windows installations or recover as much as you can from a dying disk. Run it either interactively or from a single commandline
- winpass: does the same thing as in TRK 1.1, searches for all local Windows
installations, runs chntpw on your SAM file and resets the password. It now also handles Windows on FAT32 correctly and uses the safe ntfs driver from the Linux kernel, so it works even without captive support
- regedit: is actually the same as winpass, but starts chntpw in interactive mode and allows you to edit a Windows registry
- virusscan: completely rewritten,this script now has two different engines: the default is to run with the GNU Clamav antivirus which is free for everyone. This is a very good scanner, but the drawback is that it can only detect virus infected files, not clean them. So the only option is to delete them, where most of the time the file is the complete virus. But just to be sure we don t delete anything valuable, a quarantined backup is being made first. The other part of the script uses the free-for-home-users F-prot. F-prot itself is not included in TRK but it gets downloaded from their site. F-prot DOES have the ability to disinfect files if necessary.
- ntfsundeleteall: also completely rewritten, ntfsundeleteall, a wrapper for
ntfsundelete now recovers deleted files from an NTFS volume but it gives you the ability to add a recoverability percentage to the commandline. Since it only recovers files and not directories, sometimes you would have double filenames. This has been countered by adding the inode of the file at the beginning of the filename, so recoverability is 100% within the possibilities of ntfsundelete
More utils:
- links: simple webbrowser which runs in framebuffer graphical mode. Handy to go and read some reference docs on the Internet
- ftp and lftp
- ssh and scp
- ms-sys: This program is used to create Microsoft compatible boot records. It is able to do the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a hard disk. It is also able to do the same as Microsoft "sys d:" to a floppy or FAT partition except that it does not copy any system files, only the boot record is written.
- Reiserfs tools
- ext2/ext3 tools
- ntfsprogs
- dosfs tools
- tcpdump, nmap and netcat
- mdadm for offline raid configuration
- burn, a utility that stresses your CPU
- samba client: mount windows shares over the network
- shred: erase a harddisk until its unrecoverable even by magnetic resonance recovery
- fatback: undelete files from fat filesystems
- TestDisk: Tool to check and undelete partition, works with most common partitions
- PhotoRec: File and pictures recovery. PhotoRec has been created to recover pictures from digital camera memory and it has been extended to recover lost files from harddisk (List of known files). PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
- pico text editor
- mkisofs and cdrecord
- perl 5
