Volume Sharing Manager (Vsman) is a utility that has been designed for volume (directory) sharing management on the server side. So far, it manages NFS v3 and V4, but can be extended to others volume sharing systems.
You can select a NFS v4 server interface in the preferences dialog box. Otherwise, invoke vsman with the flag -4 in order to display the NFS v4 specific mounting options when needed.
Vsman must be run as root. It displays on the left a tree view of known directories with their possible accesses, i.e. client hosts that can mount directories from the server where vsman is running.
Each directory is displayed with a green, yellow or red spot.
Green if the directory is exported but not mounted.
Yellow when exported and mounted.
Red when unexported.
When you double-click on an access, the left side shows its mounting options.
You can obviously declare a new volume. Vsman just asks you the name of the corresponding directory. You can of course create or delete accesses for the current volume. When you create one, a dialog box appears, that asks you the suitable host name, network
name or address, or netgroup name.
If the host filed is empty, the networks field is then tested, and if empty again, the netgroup is selected.
If you select "NIS" instead of "Files" in the preferences dialog box, the hosts, networks, users and groups will be fetched from the given NIS domain name. For more info about NIS, read the corresponding HOWTO documentation.
Selecting the Reexport menu will reexport all and synchronize vsman with the exported volumes declared in /etc/exports.
Double-click on a mounting host and select Unexport Host in the Action menu, and the current volume will be unexported from the corresponding volume.
Unexport whole volume will do the same thing, but for all the mounting hosts.
The Start / Stop menu will stop or restart the NFS server.
The Save menu will write the NFS /etc/exports file and reexport all volumes.

Requirements
In order to run or build the Shezhu Resource Sharing System you need some third-party software available on your machine.
Client
The client needs a modern web browser and the best browsers for this application are Firefox, Mozilla (including the Netscape branded equivalent and Gecko derivatives such as Galeon) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The newest versions of all these browsers will work best. This application also works with the Konqueror and Opera browsers but these have some issues which may affect functionality. All browsers need JavaScript enabled. Any of these browsers may not work properly (or at all) depending on the operating system they are running under. Text based browsers (such as Lynx) are not supported.
For a comprehensive list of supported client browsers and operating systems refer to this browser compatibility chart from the most recent release of the application.
Server
The server needs recent versions of the Apache web server and the MySQL database server.
The server has only been tested on Redhat9 and FedoraCore3 Linux/i386 platforms although there is no specific reason why it should not work on other Linux platforms and distributions.
Development
Rebuilding this application from source requires a standard Unix development environment with the sh, make, cc, cpp, sed and awk utilities. Also required are RCS, Perl (5.6+) and the ImageMagick program. Also required is RPM to build a distribution. All these programs would probably come as standard in Linux distributions, other platforms may not have all of them by default.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Apache2 and multi-site installations, internal restructuring, a better installation tree, and improved access control management.

CGI::Application::Plugin::RateLimit is a plugin for CGI::Application which provides protection against a user calling a runmode too frequently. A typical use-case might be a contact form that sends email.

Youd like to allow your users to send you messages, but thousands of messages from a single user in a short period of time would be a problem.

Installation:

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

P2P-Radio provides a peer-to-peer audio and video broadcasting system.
P2P-Radio is a peer-to-peer audio (MP3) and video (NSV) broadcasting system that features freeloader detection, stream signing, SHOUTcast support, an easy-to-use GUI, and a separate monitor application which displays the current structure of the P2P network.
