Free named software for linux

Unimaginatively-named Calendar project began out of frustration with other web-based calendar tools inability to display a readable calendar format. Unimaginatively-named Calendar was very much a project to "scratch an itch" -- to meet an immediate need that the author had. Since then, it has evolved considerably into a very useful tool that produces prettier calendars than those printed by most organizer software.
The first version of this software was written in ASP (VBScript) and ran on IIS 4.0 or higher with a database on SQL Server 7.0 or higher. It has since been completely rewritten in Java to run on Tomcat 5.5 or higher with a database on MySQL 3.3 or higher. The feature set is largely the same, though the two versions have no code in common.
Main features:
- The entire calendar is rendered in HTML -- no Flash or Java is used.
- Single-day, multi-day and occassional events are all supported. "Occasional" events are those events that occur multiple times but dont necessarily follow a regular pattern.
- Repeating events are supported and can repeat on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
- Events may be categorized for easy administration.
- Nearly everything about the display is themable -- colors, fonts, border styles, first day of the week, weekday column widths, categories, etc.
- A calendar may be setup as a "private" calendar, so the user must be logged in to see it.
- Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird users can subscribe to the calendar with one click.
- NEW! The admin tool is password protected!

Twisted Names project is both a domain name server as well as a client resolver library.
Twisted Names comes with an "out of the box" nameserver which can read most BIND-syntax zone files as well as a simple Python-based configuration format.
Twisted Names can act as an authoritative server, perform zone transfers from a master to act as a secondary, act as a caching nameserver, or any combination of these.
Twisted Names client resolver library provides functions to query for all commonly used record types as well as a replacement for the blocking gethostbyname() function provided by the Python stdlib socket module.
Twisted Names is available under the MIT Free Software licence.
Enhancements:
- Errors in the markup used in API documentation have been fixed.
- A bug where the DNS client would sometimes drop a response has been fixed.
- A bug which prevented non-IN lookups from generating malformed queries has been fixed.

Snd is a freeware sound editor modelled loosely after Emacs and an old, sorely-missed PDP-10 sound editor named Dpysnd.

It can accommodate any number of sounds, each with any number of channels. It can be customized and extended using Guile or Ruby.

KPSAD is a simple shell script to report PSAD alerts via KDE. The project supports simple whitelisting.

Ok, this is important. To stop KPSAD annoying you, create a whitelist file!!! The whitelist file is named ".whitelist" in the same directory as the program itself.

After the whitelist is created, then youre almost ready to go. Open up the program in your favourite text editor. At the bottom of the script, theres a section where you can add a mail client. This is optional, but allows you to run this almost transparently to PSAD

YOU NEED PSAD FOR THIS TO WORK!!!

Get PSAD, then edit the config file, so it points at the KPSAD program as the "mailCmd"

In future, I will write a script that will install this automatically, and generate whitelists, and allow you to add a new probe to the whitelist or black list, etc. In the meantime though, here you go.

There is a sample whitelist file in this directory. Its probably invisible to you, because its named .whitelist.

Convert::ASCIInames is a Perl module that includes ASCII names for control characters.

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::ASCIInames;

Convert::ASCIInames::Configure(fallthrough => 1);
$name = ASCIIname($character_ordinal);
$name = ASCIIaltname($character_ordinal);
$name = ASCIIdescription($character_ordinal);
$name = ASCIIaltdescription($character_ordinal);
$character_ordinal = ASCIIordinal($name);

Most if not all of the non-printing characters of the ASCII character set had special significance in the days of teletypes and paper tapes. For example, the character code 0x00 would be sent repeatedly in order to give the receiving end a chance to catch up; it signified "no action" and so was named NUL. The sending end might follow each line of text with a number of NUL bytes in order to give the receiving end a chance to return its print carriage to the left margin.

The control characters (so-called because they were used to control aspects of communication or receiving devices) were given short 2-to-4 letter names, like CR, EOT, ACK, and NAK.

Some of these special purposes have become obsolete, but some of them are still in use. For example, character 0x07 (BEL) is used to ring the feeper; 0x05 (ENQ) is recognised by many terminals as a trigger to report their status; and 0x08 (BS) still means "move the cursor back one space".

This module will return the ASCII name for specified characters, or the character code if given an ASCII name. In addition, the full descriptive name ("Start of Heading" instead of SOH) is available, although reverse translation of the descriptions isnt provided.

Some control characters have altername names. Character 0x13 is named DC3 ("Device Control 3"), but is probably better known by its alternate name of XOFF. These alternate names are also available through this modules functions.

Net::LDAPapi is a Perl5 Module Supporting LDAP API.

This module allows Perl programmers to access and manipulate an LDAP based Directory.

Versions beginning with 1.40 support both the original "C API" and new "Perl OO" style interface methods. With version 1.42, Ive added named arguments.

THE INTIAL CONNECTION

All connections to the LDAP server are started by creating a new "blessed object" in the Net::LDAPapi class. This can be done quite easily by the following type of statement.

$ld = new Net::LDAPapi($hostname);

Where $hostname is the name of your LDAP server. If you are not using the standard LDAP port (389), you will also need to supply the portnumber.

$ld = new Net::LDAPapi($hostname, 15555);

The new method can also be called with named arguments.

$ld = new Net::LDAPapi(-host=>$hostname, -port=>15389);

Instead of the above mentioned argumens -url can be used in the following form

$ld = new Net::LDAPapi(-url=>"ldap://host:port");

Setting -debug=>"TRUE" will enable more verbose error messages.

Note that with named arguments, the order of the arguments is insignificant.

JBinHex is both a library and a command-line tool, written in Java, to decode files in the Apple Macintosh BinHex 4.0 format.

It accepts the following command line parameters:

Either -u < url > or -f < file > to specify the source BinHexed file. If neither of those options is present, DeBinHex reads stdin.
-d to decode the data fork. It will be put in the file with the name that came from the BinHex header.
-df < filename > to decode the data fork to the named file instead of the name that came from the BinHex header.
-r to decode the resource fork. It will be put in the file with the name that came from the BinHex header, with the extension ".resource" appended to it.
-rf < filename > to decode the resource fork to the named file instead of the name that came from the BinHex header.
Both -d/-df options and -r/-rf may be present at the same time. If none of these options is present, DeBinHex will decode the data fork as if the -d options was specified.
-h to only show the header of the BinHex file on stdout. The decoding options are ignored.
