This is an *incomplete* programmer interface to the Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Student Information System (SIS).]

Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment.

Weve added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have.

The server edition of BU Linux provides a modern, stable, and robust server platform suitable for long-term deployment in many roles throughout the university.

Supported Hardware

Currently, only i686-class machines are supported. This includes almost everything from Intels Pentium Pro on. AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems will work fine using their 32-bit mode. Watch for a 64-bit version later this summer.

Specific Notes on Server Applications

Mail Server:

BU Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac) includes three different choices of Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for your mail server. Each of these open source servers has its unique strengths, and you can install one or more and use the utility system-switch-mail to choose which is active.

The default is IBMs Postfix, which is designed from scratch to be secure and easily configurable. On a newly-installed BU Linux machine, Postfix is configured to exchange mail on the local machine and to send mail out to other systems, but not receive mail from the network. For this reason, outgoing mail from global BU accounts (those matching valid BU login names and with the proper UID) will appear to come from @bu.edu rather than @hostname.bu.edu. Local users (including system accounts) will retain the hostname, but without reconfiguration, any replies will bounce. Changing the system to accept mail is easy; see the BU Linux web site for details.

For the maximum flexibility and for compatibility with existing configurations (and with existing expertise), we also include the traditional standard Sendmail. And, if you have particular special needs, you may find that the new Exim MTA fits your situation best.

No matter which MTA you choose, please contact us if you need any assistance. With so many options available, the situation can be confusing, and its unfortunately easy for an accidentally misconfigured system to become a target for spam relayers. We have significant expertise at configuring both Postfix and Sendmail in a variety of situations, and will be glad to help.

FTP Server:

This release of BU Linux provides two options for FTP. The first is vsftpd, which is designed to be simple and secure. This is the most appropriate for almost all situations, but if you require more power and flexibility, we also include ProFTPd, which has many more options and a configuration syntax similar to that of the Apache web server.

Please also remember that FTP is an insecure protocol and that any passwords used travel over the network in plain text. For this reason, its best to avoid anything but anonymous FTP. For user-authenticated file transfer, use SSH and SFTP. (SFTP is provided by the OpenSSH server and enabled by default.)

Web Server:

The web server software included in BU Linux is the industry-standard Apache httpd. We also include PHP 4.3 and many other useful tools for building a web server.
If you need to provide authenticated access to web services to BU users, please contact us and we will provide you with our University-standard Weblogin module. This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.

Database Server:

BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.

Having worked with IP Filter on Solaris for a few years now, when I work on IP Tables in Linux I come to miss State Top. So I decided to write a version for IP Tables. IPTState is a state top along with a "single run" mode to quickly display states once. IP Tables State has customizable sorting (including reverse), customizable refresh rates, etc. etc. See the README, the man page and the -h option for details.

IPTState is now in the Debian, Redhat, Fedora Core, Mandrake, Gentoo, FloppyFW, and Devil Linux distributions as well as the pkgsrc project.

Autostatus is a network and server monitoring program. The project is designed to support large, arbitrarily complex networks of computers, and still provide feedback in a very timely fashion. To that extent, it has the following goals:
- Speed - Autostatus attempts to probe for network status as quickly as possible.
- Efficiency - Autostatus will not attempt to check for status on portions of the network it already knows are down, eliminating redundant checks.
- Accuracy - Autostatus presents as accurate a picture of the network status as it can from its perspective.
Autostatus has some features which make it fairly unique among network monitoring programs:
Dependency Resolution
Autostatus can be given information about the path it takes to reach network segments, or other dependencies in network or server topology. Given this dependency information, autostatus will then query for status in the proper order in order to guarantee that:
- Nothing is queried before all of the items upon which it depends have already been queried.
- Nothing is queried if an item upon which it depends is down.
- Items are not incorrectly marked as down when they are simply unreachable due to a dependency failure.
This dependency resolution is, of course, fully recursive. The software will also warn about abnormal conditions in the configuration file such as cyclical dependencies.
Parallel status gathering
Autostatus uses the excellent fping program written by Roland J. Schemers III at Stanford University. (see the fping copyright below). By intelligently grouping services together for parallel testing, Autostatus minimizes the amount of time necessary to scan large numbers of networks or servers.
For testing TCP services, Autostatus uses a component called tcpcheck to perform parallel checks of TCP connections. tcpcheck was developed specifically for Autostatus, but has considerable utility outside of Autostatus.
Status Web Page
Autostatus automatically generates a status web page which reflects the current-known network and server status on a per-item basis.
Email notification
Autostatus sends email when the state of a monitored item changes (based upon configurable thresholds). Using an email to pager program (such as hellpage, by the author, or various other paging programs), it is very easy to route notifications for each service to the correct party.
Multiple service monitoring
Autostatus can monitor both routers/hosts via ICMP messages, and specific services on machines via TCP connections. In keeping with the themes of autostatus, TCP connections may be avoided if the machine is not reachable via ICMP, or may be tried at all times.
Usage: tcpcheck < timeout > < host:port > [host:port]

Ragel State Machine Compiler compiles finite state machines from regular languages into executable C/C++/Objective-C code. Ragel state machines can not only recognize byte sequences as regular expression machines do, but can also execute code at arbitrary points in the recognition of a regular language.
Ragel can also be thought of as a finite state transducer compiler where output symbols represent blocks of code that get executed instead of written to the output stream.
When you wish to write down a regular language you start with some simple regular language and build a bigger one using the regular language operators union, concatenation, kleene star, intersection and subtraction.
This is precisely the way you describe to Ragel how to compile your finite state machines. Ragel also understands operators that embed actions into machines and operators that control any non-determinism in machines.
Ragel FSMs are closed under all of Ragels regular language, action specification and priority assignment operators. This property allows arbitrary regular languages to be described. Complexity is limited only by available processing resources.
For example, you can make one machine that picks out specially formatted comments in C code, another machine that builds a list all function declarations and a third that identifies string constants then "or" them all together to make a single machine that performs all of these tasks concurrently and independently on one pass of the input.
Main features:
- Describe arbitrary state machines using regular language operators and/or state tables.
- NFA to DFA conversion.
- Hopcrofts state minimization.
- Embed any number of actions into machines at arbitrary places.
- Control non-determinism using priorities on transitions.
- Visualize output with Graphviz.
- Use byte, double byte or word sized alphabets.
- Generate C/C++/Objective-C code with no dependencies.
- Choose from table or control flow driven output.
Enhancements:
- The documentation and the Ruby code generator were improved.

State Machine Compiler takes a state machine stored in an .sm file and generates the state pattern classes in nine programming languages.
Its features include default transitions, transition arguments, transition guards, push/pop transitions, and Entry/Exit actions. State Machine Compiler requires Java SE 1.4.1 or better.
Enhancements:
- This release cleans up C# and VB.net debug output using System.Diagnostics.Trace.
- It fixes a number of minor bugs.

Chemistry Development Kit classes are Java utitility classes for ChemoInformatics and Computational chemistry, written in Java. They are developed constantly developed parallel to other projects that make use of them.
They are a complete re-write of the CompChem classes that were the basis of JChemPaint, a Java Editor for 2D chemical structures, and of JMDraw, a Java package for the graphical layout of 2D chemical structures.
The CDK project was started in September 2000 to replace the CompChem libraries used by JChemPaint, Jmol and SENECA. It no longer is in its initial stage, but is slowly getting a solid state.
The people involved in setting up the project are Christoph Steinbeck then at the Chemoinformatics Group at the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology in Jena, as well as Egon Willighagen from the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, who is also involved with JChemPaint and many other Java Chemoinformatics programs, and Dan Gezelter from Notre Dame University, South Bend, USA, the initiator of Jmol, a 3D viewer and analyzer for molecules .
Now, the rewrite of these CompChem/CDK library classes do somehow effect all of our projects. All of our code relies to some extend on the so-called CompChem classes for computational chemistry.
Christoph Steinbeck started this chemistry library when he started programming SENECA, a system for Computer Assisted Structure Elucidation. It turned out that some of the code had design flaws that prevented others, like the authors of (Jmol) to use it.
Enhancements:
- This release consists of mostly some bugfixes, but also solves a few Java 1.4.2 compile problems and adds more functionality to the SMARTS parser.
