Free easy access to software for linux

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security extension for current Linux kernels. Rule Set Based Access Control is based on the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a flexible system of access control based on several modules.
All security relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then enforced by the system call extensions.
Main features:
- Free Open Source (GPL) Linux kernel security solution
- Independent of governments and big companies
- Several well-known and new security models, like MAC, ACL and RC
- On-access virus scanning with the Dazuko interface
- Detailed control over individual user and program network accesses
- Fully access controlled kernel level user management
- Any combination of security models possible
- Easily extensible: write your own model for runtime registration
- Support for latest kernels and stable for production use
Enhancements:
- This release relates to kernel 2.4.34.5 and 2.6.22.1.
- There are important fixes with some compilation errors and an important bug with User Management password hashing, introduced with the newer 2.6 kernel crypto API.
- Some security has been added with safety measures against null pointers.

MySQL Squid Access Report, mysar for short, is a reporting system for user web traffic activity, as logged from a squid proxy.
MySAR consists of two parts:
- Command line utilities which import a squid log file in a MySQL database and maintain the databas.
- A web interface for accessing the reports.
Main features:
- Free. Licenced under the GPL, mysar is free for everyone to use.
- Dynamic. Forget about static reports that take ages to generate, hogging the systems CPU. Mysar is is the only squid reporting system with a database as its backend.
- Almost realtime. No longer do you have to wait for the next hour or day for the reports to be generated. All of the user activity is available to you when you want it. NOW.
- Portable. Written in pure PHP, mysar is available to any unix-based OS platform PHP supports, without any modification.
- Flexible. Since the code is open-source, you can customize it to your needs. Create you own reports as you see fit.
- Supported. Mysar project has a mailing-list, forum and an active maintainer.
- Stable. Utilizing mature and stable software like Smarty, MySQL and PHP, mysar is standing on the shoulders of giants.
- Easy. With a foolproof installation and a user-friendly web interface, mysar makes web traffic reporting easier than ever.
- Customizable. Mysar neednt be on the same server as squid or MySQL. If your load is too high, just load-balance your processes as you see fit.
Enhancements:
- This version added 64-bit support for the binary importer.

Direct Access Provider Library in short DAPL is a transport-independent, platform-independent, high-performance API for using the remote direct memory access (RDMA) capabilities of modern interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, the Virtual Interface Architecture, and iWARP.
This is the reference implementation of that specification by the DAT Collaborative who maintain the DAPL API.
Enhancements:
- Support was added for new IB verbs client register event.
- Some problems supporting create qp without recv cq handle or recv qp resources were fixed.
- Some timeout and long disconnect delay issues exposed during scalability tests were fixed.
- Minor build problems were fixed.
- Support for multiple IB devices was added to dat.conf to support IPoIB HA failover.
- Support for returning local and remote port information was added.
- The RPM spec file was cleaned up.
- Enviroment variables to configure connection management timers were added.

PHP Generic Access Control List is a PHP class that offers Web developers a simple, yet immensely powerful "drop in" permission system for their current Web-based applications.
Main features:
- Split into two classes, and a seperate administration interface.
1. GACL class: Designed to be very small (517 lines of code including comments) and very fast, this class strictly takes care of the permission checks.
2. GACL_API class: Designed to be robust and flexible, this class takes care of creating/editing/deleting objects, groups and ACLs.
3. phpGACL Administration Interface: A set of scripts that allow for the easy administration of the entire GACL universe using only your browser.
- NOT limited to typical "read/write/execute" permissions similar to some flavours of *nix
- User definable "Access Control Objects" (ACO). These are objects which control what access is available to "requesters" (see below).
- Several examples:
- Enable - Projects
- View - Projects, View Own - Projects
- Edit - Projects, Edit Own - Projects
- Delete - Projects, Delete Own - Projects, UnDelete - Projects, UnDelete Own - Projects
- Add - Projects
- System down for Maintenance
- View - The letter "e" ;)
- User definable "Access Request Objects" (ARO). These are objects which request access from an "Access Control Object" (above) examples would be:
- Users/Accounts
- IP Addresses
- Browsers/Browser capabilities (JS/Flash/DHTML)
- User definable "Access eXtension Objects" (AXO). These are objects which extend permissions to a 3rd layer, optionally allowing you to set fine grained permissions on each individual item in your application, or even row in your database. AXOs are often used in cases where you only want to give a user access to a specific project or contact.
- Several examples:
- Projects - Project ID: 3474 (Accounting Software)
- Projects - Project ID: 3484 (Financial Software)
- Contacts - Contact ID: 4775 John Doe
- Contacts - Contact ID: 4795 John Doe
- Tree based ARO/AXO Object grouping with inheritance.
- Contains functionality to easily program add-ons. Examples would be for product pricing, or quantity limitations.
- One function application integration: acl_check()
- Simply pass this function four parameters, it doesnt get any easier!
- Supports the most popular databases using the ADODB database abstraction layer. (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL)
- Complete web based administration interface.
- Scalable. A real-world working version with many added layers of complexity supports over 60,000 Accounts, 200 Groups and 300 ACOs.
Requierments:
- PHP 4.x or greater
- SQL database. (MySQL 3x/4.0.15+, PostgreSQL 7.2+, Oracle 9i+, MS-SQL 2000+)
Enhancements:
- This release contains several minor bugfixes and a fix for a major bug with del_object(), which caused transactions to abort prematurely.
- It also contains a slightly improved installer with Informix support, less possibility of conflicting code with other applications, and upgraded ADODB and Smarty packages.

RefSense is the name of both a web interface to PubMed, and a set of command line tools for accessing PubMed. RefSense was previously distributed as Biblio.

The web interface provides easy access to PubMeds data as well as some useful tools not found at the actual PubMed site.

The command line tools allow you to search PubMed from a terminal (such as xterm), retrieve web pages or PDFs, find related articles, convert to BibTeX, and much more by only using a keyboard. And you can get convenient word completion on titles, author names, etc, as well!

Usage:

The following commands are available:

pmsearch
Search Medline and have article identifiers (PMID) returned.

pmid2text
Take PMIDs (on the command line or from STDIN) and retrieve the entries as text in a couple of formats, including partial HTML for building web pages with.

pmid2bibtex
Works like pmid2text, but writes BibTeX records to STDOUT.

pubmed
This is a simple script that essentially executes pmsearch search terms | pmid2text -a.

pmid2seq
Download sequences from PubMed that are refereced, linked, to an article.

pmid2related
Retrieve a list of articles related to your input PMIDs.

pmcomplete
Interface RefSense commands with the completion system in Bash.

Wireless Applet is a gnome-panel applet that shows up the status of your wireless card.

This applet used to be in the default Gnome releases before it was replaced around v2.10 or so. Some users prefer it over the new one, so we decided to post it here for easy access to it.
