Free powerdns daemon software for linux

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.

PowerDNS project 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 contains two important security fixes, which should also solve the very rare reports of stability problems.
- Additionally, a new class of misconfigured domains will now always be resolved correctly, instead of intermittently.

PyMusicD is yet another jukebox daemon written in python. It was born out of my frustration with the current mp3 jukeboxes, mostly the lack of features that I want. Ive also been playing with python quite a lot lately, and this is my first attempt at a large project in python.
The player is being written to satisfy my own requirements for a car mp3 player, although theres no reason you couldnt use this for a home mp3 player, or work mp3 player.
It assumes that your network users are (mostly) benign, and doesnt take a lot of precautions against malicious users who want to screw with your mp3s. Take appropriate measures to only allow trusted users to play with it, at least until I secure it a bit better.
Its primary purpose is to run in the background, and play mp3s whenever they are in the playlist.
Usage
Unpack this to its own directory. Edit the pymusicd.conf file to your liking. Run python PyMusicD, then run python pymusic to play around with it. The client operates very similarly to most shells, and includes tab completion for commands (but not arguments... yet.)
If you wish to install this to the system, you may do so by running python setup.py install. This will install the server binary in the default place for your platform (according to distutils.) You may then edit the config file (/etc/pymusicd.conf by default) and run the server by running PyMusicD. The cli client will be named pymusic.
This software is currently in development. It is not ready for end users yet. You should have familiarity with scripting in python before you set about to use this software. That being said, if you find bugs that arent listed in TODO, and/or have problems with the software that arent listed in TODO, email me (zwhite@darkstar.frop.org) and Ill see what I can do to help you. Code patches/suggestions are always welcome.
This is known to work on my Slackware 9.0 machine using the Python 2.2.2 package that came with it. I have also tested it on my Mac OSX 10.2.8 machine with Python 2.2. I have no reason to believe that it wont work on any machine with a Python 2.x interpreter and
either mpg123 or mpg321. Your mileage may vary. If it doesnt work on your platform, please let me know. My goal is to have this work on any platform that python runs on.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug when adding an entire directory with %2A instead of *
- Added a debug command to get server state, currently only playstatus is reported, will add more as needed.
- Changed the way the stop command works to eliminate a bug.
- Check to make sure a file exists before we add it to the playlist.
- We no longer start playing music as soon as the playlist has entries.
- Instead, we wait for a play command to be issued.
- Added config file support. Defaults to /etc/pymusicd.conf or ./pymusicd.conf
- Added a setup.py and setup.cfg file. Now users can install PyMusicD using the standard "python setup.py install" method that other scripts and modules use.

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

PowerDNS Oracle Backend provides a backend which allows PowerDNS to use Oracle as its data store.

PowerDNS Oracle Backend is a backend driver for the PowerDNS nameserver which allows DNS data to be stored in an Oracle database. PowerDNS can load backend modules at runtime. This backend is fully configurable, and SQL statements can be specified in the configuration file.

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

DConnect Daemon is a Direct Connects hub working as daemon. It works currently under linux and FreeBSD, but we want to make them work on all Unixes (and under Windows).
DConnect Daemon works as a daemon in background and does not require any Xwindow system. Everything should work without any maintenance, but with possible runtime manipulations.
Main features:
- written in pure C
- utilizes threads - allow to work faster on SMP mashines
- good and strict protocol implementation - as far as we know it...
- access limitation through libwrap
- telnet administration console and traditional with DC client
- flexible configuration
Enhancements:
- Because full support for syslog is included, the old way of logging to files was removed.
- Switch to syslog-ng is recommended as it will make your logs cleaner.
- Silent mode is now switched on so it is impossible to redirect users who should not have access to the service you provide.

rblsd is a small, fast, SpamAssassin-compatible spam filter. It filters mail by performing a series of RBL lookups on each message. This results in fast, accurate, low-load spam filtration. This can be used as a standalone, replacement for SpamAssassin, or as an secondary filter to increase mail throughput.
As for the folks here in collegeland, were getting to that point in the semester when we discover its the fifth week already, and midterms are coming up, and all of a sudden, weve got tests. I have nearly completed a major improvement to the internal loop (the backbone of the server), but dont use it right now, because clients wont time out (you should note that the development version in cvs is rarely usable for real mail, and sometimes it wont even run normally). Here are features that Im planning for the fifth release:
Compatibility with firedns To me, rblsd and firedns seem meant for each other. This is optional, of course, just be sure your OS has copy-on-write :-).
Multiple-user configurations, with flexible passwd files.
A "lite" version, that processes a single piece of mail from input. rblsd was designed for a high volume of mail, and is indeed optimized for this, but I could create a light-weight mail filter that uses the rich ruleset of rblsd for a less hardcore user.
The ability to record marked spam (in its unprocessed form) for any reason you may need a collection of spam mails (to train a smart filter perhaps? Vipuls Razor?)
Of course, a few new knobs to turn, in order to best reduce spam, based on your particular mail flow patterns.
And of course, performance improvements.
Hopefully this will get done by November. It is possible I may have to put this off till winter break, in which case, late December, at the latest. Ill try to give occasional progress reports, so check the site back if youre interested. Meanwhile, Im going to drift back into college life and prioritize my obligations there. Have fun out there in the real world!
