Free policy daemon software for linux

Policy Daemon project is an anti-spam plugin for Postfix (written in C) that does Greylisting, Sender-(envelope, SASL or host / ip)-based throttling (on messages and/or volume per defined time unit), Recipient rate limiting, Spamtrap monitoring / blacklisting, HELO auto blacklisting and HELO randomization preventation.
Enhancements:
- Merged OSX -L < libdir > vs. -L< libdir > fix into v1.8x branch
- Added quirk for SIGPIPE on Apple
- Added quirk for some versions of NetBSD which dont have SO_NOSIGPIPE
- Added error message that if we cannot find how to handle SIGPIPE on the host platform to contact the devel mailing list
- Make "stats" command a bit better aligned
- Be paranoid bout our read buffer size check
- Better check to see if weve run out of available slots, if we have emit a warning and close connection
- Fixed potential buffer overflow when line length exceeds MAXLINE

LDAP Mailing Lists Access Policy Daemon (MLAPD) is a mailing list manager that uses LDAP (instead of BDB or GDBM) to control list access. Its designed to work in conjunction with Postfix as an access policy delegation daemon. It manages electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Its goal is to store/read list data on/from LDAP.
It works as a Postfix access policy delegation agent, so it can be installed one time and used by multiple Postfix instances, or installed multiple times and not suffer database access concurrency issues (because it uses LDAP).
Enhancements:
- This can be considered the first stable and usable release.

OLSR daemon project is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs).
OLSR is a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. The protocol is pro-active, table driven and utilizes a technique called multipoint relaying for message flooding. olsrd also implements a popular optional link quality extension. Currently the implementation compiles on GNU/Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD and NetBSD systems.
Olsrd is ment to be a well structured and well coded implementation that should be easy to maintain, expand and port to other platforms. The implementation is RFC3626 compliant with respect to both core and auxiliary functioning.
Olsrd supports use of loadable plugins. These can be used to to handle and generate custom packettypes to be carried by OLSRs MPR flooding scheme or for any other desired functioning.
Enhancements:
- Network simulator (olsr_switch) added. Read more in the README file included in the release.
- New experimental fish eye link distribution algorithm. Read more in the README file included in the release.
- Tiny Application Server(TAS) plugin added
- Plugin interface changes. Olsrd now exports all symbols mening that plugins can access all olsrd functions easily.
- Olsrd now builds and runs on OpenBSD
- Build system rewrites(OS detection is now done automagically)
- Lots of bugfixes and minor changes

The PXE daemon allows network managers to boot PXE-enabled machines over the network. Basically it envolves BOOTP, TFTP (so far so good) and a PXE daemon. This is where all the trouble starts. There is only one implementation arround, and if doesnt work on anything other than little endian machines.
I originally tried to correct some of the major problems in this code. However firstly, I could not find anyone with at Red Hat or Intel to deal with and secondly, Intel seem very unintrested in porting the code the big endian machines. The source is also very messy and it would have taken longer to correct the original code, than to re-write the whole daemon. If you dont believe me on this point, just have a look at it, IMHO any daemon that responds to keyboard input is a bad thing (it thinks it had packets coming from the keyboard even when in daemon mode)
You are lucky then, but a lot of places have already got a bootserver, and most likely it will be a UNIX based machine that is not x86. So, why put in another machine when there is already one there?
If you know enough about PC, you will know there are several operating modes. The mode the PC boots in is only able to access the low 640KB of memory. By using the PXELINUX bootstrap code it is possible to boot using the full amount to memory in the system. The means you can do some nice things including boot a Linux kernel + Ramdisk over the network, as you would for a Sun. Please note that the Intel bootstraping code is very limited in this sense.
I dont recommend it anymore, I just havent had time to do a lot of updates, PXELINUX is far far better (see link below). However Intels PXE daemon is naff (IMHO)
Enhancements:
- Increase the interface buffer to hold more than three interfaces
- Fixed a segfault in when multicast was disabled
- Fixed null pointer dereference when looking at interfaces with no IP address

Gizmo Daemon is the Linux Input Device Utility.
Ever want to make use of those keyboard keys and mouse buttons that X wont let you use? Ever want to quickly define a keyboard shortcut to do something like change or mute the volume? Ever want to use your joystick, second mouse, Griffin PowerMate, or any other random device you can think of to do fun things like control applications, switch desktops, switch tracks in XMMS / BMP, launch programs, or do pretty much anything else you can think of?
Are you a MythTV user? Got an RF or IR (LIRC) Remote? Annoyed with how frustrating it is to map keys, or is the remote super touchy? Would you like a simple easy way to configure your remote, and have it function properly at the same time? Want to have different key maps based on what application is currently being used?
Gizmo Daemon does all of that, and more! Gizmo Daemon operates on a fairly simple philosophy: let the user decide. Any and all device events are sent to the configuration scripts, and from there the user can decide what should be done with those events. A number of functions are exposed to the scripts which allows the script to interact with any of the loaded device plugins in any way desired.
Main features:
- Control any application with any device
- Utilize those special keys on your fancy keyboard, even if your X server or terminal doesnt support them! Now you can actually make the volume controls change the volume, or the media buttons control XMMS / BMP! Set the buttons to launch your favorite programs, switch virtual desktops, or run whatever application you want!
- Give per application key mappings, very handy for remote users!
- Fix touchy remotes by removing quick duplicate keystrokes
- Control system mixer volume
- Change virtual desktops (only for EWMH capable window managers)
- Launch programs
- Send keyboard and mouse events to applications
- Send device events from one device to another, or create fake device events (control a mouse cursor with a joystick, or keyboard)
- Visualization of system events such as CPU USage, and XMMS / BMP sound output on visual devices (such as the LED on the Griffin PowerMate USB Dial).
- Fancy on screen displays via XOSD. Now your workstation or MythTV box can have nice TV friendly volume displays controlled by your remote!
- And more! Anything you can think of is probably possible
Enhancements:
- Add Powermate setRotateSensitivity function
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_ROTATE_SENSITIVITY for this!
- Add PowermateEvent ClickTime property (duration of button press)
- Add GizmodThread class for creating threads from Python
- DO NOT USE!! (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL!)
- Add GizmodTimer class for creating timer objects from Python
- Add script 200-Powermate-ButtonTimeout for generating button
timeout events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_BUTTON_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add script 201-Powermate-Beryl
- So far this detects a powermate button timeout and
unfolds the beryl cube, and lets you scroll the unfolded
cube with the dial
- Add base script GizmoScriptAltTabber so that devices have an
easy way of sending Alt-Tab events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
ALT_TAB_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add remote ?00-Intercept scripts for alt-tabbing support
- This allows the default mapping to start alt-tab
and to still alt-tab passed applications (if alt-tab
actually focuses apps) if those apps happen to use
the same button that initialized the alt-tab
- Add Gizmod namespace to libGizmod

LIRC Client Daemon project is an attempt to solve certain problems in LIRC.

The LIRC Client Daemon is a per-user daemon that sits between the LIRC daemon (from the Linux InfraRed Control project) and any other programs that use LIRC.

It ships with a replacement library for LIRCs liblirc_client, which connects to lirccd instead of lircd. This primarily helps solve the synchronization present in the standard liblirc_client, and also empowers the user with a much more flexible configuration file format.

The Net-Policy project allows system administrators to configure and manage their entire network at once. It is initially designed to configure firewall and IPsec connections across an entire network.

Net-policy contains the following components:
net-policy:
This is the core network manager. It is a generic SNMP-based manager and is capable of managing any information configurable via SNMP. It is currently web based with a few more interfaces (Tk, CLI, ...) planned or partially implemented. Its SNMP engine is based on the OpenSNMP and Net-SNMP toolkits. It runs on top of a PostgreSQL database.

After checking out the SVN source code or downloading the tar ball for the net-policy project, run ./np-install as root to help guide you through a complete installation using our graphical installer.

Configurable optional pieces
The net-policy manager is capable of managing the following modules. The management system above is already capable of managing
np-cerberus: A IPsec implementation for linux based on the 2.4 kernel. This code is derived from NISTs IPsec reference project. We ported the code to the 2.4 kernel and added some IPtables specific pieces and re-released it here (with their permission).
np-plutoplus: A IKE implementation which runs on top of np-cerberus. This is code is derived from NISTs IKE reference project. It has been instrumented with SNMP support using the Net-SNMP toolkit.

PowerDNS daemon Nameserver is a advanced, modern and high performance authoritative-only nameserver.
It is written from scratch and conforms to all relevant DNS standards documents. Furthermore, PowerDNS interfaces with almost any database.
The PowerDNS Nameserver utilizes, a flexible backend architecture can access DNS information from any data source. This includes file formats, Bind zone files, relational databases or LDAP directories.
If you have specific needs for your DNS infrastructure then you can use the Backend Developers Kit to write the glue between PowerDNS and your data or logic.
There is one master database that is replicated to two slave databases. The slave databases are read-only and are updated immediately when the master database changes.
For sites that do not yet have an existing database infrastructure we recommend the MySQL database. MySQL is very easy to setup and handles replication well.
If your nameservers are located on different physical networks then you immediately take advantage of the distributed nature of DNS. Questions will be load balanced on your array of servers. If a server is down then one of the other servers is queried.
PowerDNS is by default configured to serve all information directly from a database, which results in unmatched maintainability of your DNS information.
PowerDNS has developed a complete suite of technologies surrounding Internet Naming and email. Internet Naming is at the core of all online activities and is involved in each and every transaction on the net. Email remains the killer application of the Internet.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes many issues, unifies the PowerDNS Recursor and Authoritative DNS infrastructure (reducing code size by 2,000 lines), significantly improves the "BIND" compatibility mode (making real life zone loading up to 30 times faster than the original BIND), addresses many corner cases, reworks the TCP backend for improved stability, and makes 64 bit packages available.
