Free 2.x software for linux

Enhancements: Converted to work with Apache 2.2.x.

GTK-server enables access for shellscripts & interpreted programming languages to apps using either GTK 1.x or 2.x.

GTK-server project is a standalone binary, which is able to communicate by a 2-way pipe or by a TCP/UDP port. The script invokes this binary, sets up a pipe or a TCP/UDP connection and prints the GTK call in plain text to the pipe or socket. The GTK-server then sends information back which can be used in the program or script.

Below a summary of advantages when using the GTK-server:

- No need to learn C or C++, you can stick to your favorite programming language
- No need to hack the source of existing programming languages to realize GUI programming
- High flexibility in creating GUIs, e.g. not limited to dialogs
- Full GTK API available, the user can extend the gtk-server.cfg file by himself
- Access to both GTK 1.x and GTK 2.x
- Convenient GTK test tool, easy to learn GTK programming.

Python-LDAP provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory servers from Python programs. Mainly it wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for that purpose.

Additionally the package contains modules for other LDAP-related stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs, LDAPv3 schema, etc.).

mrtg-ping-probe project monitors round trip time and packet loss to another host. Still on my TODO list: add own min/max/avg rtt calculation, add perl ping module, add rping and rsh support...
mrtg-ping-probe is a ping probe for MRTG 2.x. It is used to monitor the round trip time and packet loss to networked devices. MRTG uses its output to generate graphs visualizing minimum and maximum round trip times or packet loss.
mrtg-ping-probe depends on the following software being installed on your system: perl (at least version 5.6.1), mrtg (I use version 2.8.8, though any mrtg 2.x version should work), and a ping program that displays a summary of the round trip times upon termination or timeout.
mrtg-ping-probe runs on AIX, BSD/OS 2.1, FreeBSD/2.2.x, IRIX/6.2, Linux, Mac OS X (Darwin 5.4), NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2, OSF1 V3.2, Solaris 1.1.2 (SunOS 4.1.4), Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1), Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7), Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8), Solaris 9 (SunOS 5.9), HP-UX 9, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 (english, french, portugesee, and spanish locales).
If you install the Windows ping program that comes with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or WinSock 2.x, mrtg-ping-probe will also run on Windows 95 and Windows 4.0.
Support for additional systems is usually easy to add, as described in the file INSTALL.
Act responsible: do not use mrtg-ping-probe to ping devices without the owners permission. Just imagine 10,000 people would decide to ping your hosts ... mrtg-ping-probe is meant to be used within your network to get round trip time performance figures for your network.
Usage: mrtg-ping-probe [-hsvV] [-d deadtime] [-k count] [-l length] [-o ping_options] [-p [factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}/[factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}] [-r [rsh:][user@]host[:osname]] [-t timeout] host
Enhancements:
- new platforms supported: italian Windows 2000 locale.
- bugfixes: on Windows actually return deadtime when we lost all packets, not 0. the ping child process should actually be killed now on Unix platforms.
- changes: ***** Possible Incompatability ***** raised minimum required perl version to 5.6.1. lots of typos fixed.

Apache LDAP vhost driver project lets you put vhost with all possible information in an LDAP database for both Apache 1.x and 2.x.

Bug report system

With the new maintainence, there is now also a bug report system at the URL http://bugs.bayour.com/ (project mod_ldap_cfg).

Schemas

A schema called mod_ldap_cfg is used.

Apache config

To setup Apache to use this module, the httpd.conf is used.

SMS Server Tools package contains applications to send and receive short messages through GSM modems or mobile phones. The user can send short messages by simply storing text files into a special spool directory.
The program monitors this directory and sends new files automatically. It also stores received short messages into another directory as text files. The program can run other external programs or scripts after events like reception of a new message, successful sending, and when the program detects a problem. These programs can inspect the related text files and perform automatic actions.
Enhancements:
- Compared to version 2.x, this branch includes some enhancements for the UTF-8 character set and some experimental extras.
