Free redhat software for linux

GNANT provides a custom icon pack for Gnome.
GNANT is a theme based on Mattahans outstanding work.
A big thanks to Dirk Vanden Boer for making some custom icons, I really love the gnome-netstatus icons, great job.
The set is far from complete, but it covers most of the frequently used applications. More icons are to be added soon.
I converted the icons from ico format to png using icoconvert and added them to the theme with gib.
Enhancements:
- more icons in every category
- stock icons
- add contribution from Dirk
- redhat specific icons

splitmastream reads an MPEG stream from stdin, writes a copy of it to a file named YYMMDD.HH-streamname.mp3 and then writes the stream to stdout. Think of it as a hourly-file-cutting tee for MPEG audio. Files are switched on every hour at a frame boundary so that every file should be playable without noise at the beginning/end.

splitmastream is useful for making an archive of an mpeg stream which is, for example, coming from an encoder and going to an icecast transmitter.

Tested on various RedHat Linux distributions, but should compile (with maybe a couple trivial #include changes) on any modern Unix-like operating system. I have only used it on 56kbit/s, 128kbit/s and 192kbit/s CBR layer3 streams but others should work as well.

As usual, if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Compiling the application like this:
type make
this results in the splitmastream binary, hopefully.

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.
CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free, however, we ask for a small contribution. CentOS is a project of the cAos Foundation.
CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
CentOS has numerous advantages over some of the other clone projects including: an active and growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QAed errata packages, an extensive mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, multiple free support avenues including IRC Chat, Mailing Lists, Forums, a dynamic FAQ. Commercial support is offered via a number of vendors.
CentOS exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform to anyone who wishes to use it. CentOS 2 and 3 are fully compatible rebuilds of RHEL 2 and 3 respectively. CentOS 2 and 3 are reproduced from RHEL sources that are freely distributed by RedHat.
Redistributed packages and sources comply fully with RedHats redistribution requirements. CentOS 2 and 3 are designed for people who need an enterprise class OS without the cost, support, certification, or brand name of RedHat.
Main features:
- easy maintenance
- suitability for long term use in production environments
- friendly environment for users and package maintainers
- long-term support of the core
- active development
- community infrastructure
- open management
- open business model
- commercial support - offered by a partner vendor

DMAring project is a novel generic network interface card driver architecture which works in hybrid interrupt-polling mode to deliver superior real-time performance on Linux, Redhat Linux or Linux-RTAI-LXRT (a real-time co-kernel for Linux with user level extension).

Existing Linux drivers are inefficient, they saturate the CPU at a much lower packet rates than the maximum wire line packet rate that is possible. But with this driver, vanilla network cards can be used for high speed packet capturing. This driver improves the packet capturing speed by 7 to 10 times, and the real-time packet delivery response by 500 to 5000 times over existing drivers and alternate approaches (HIP, NAPI, pfring, check the references in the papers for performance comparisons [1, 2, 3]), depending on whether Redhat Linux or RTAI is used. Thus this obviates the need for expensive high capacity hardware, specialized network data acquisition cards and systems (for example from Endace).

This project contain basic source codes, which other developers can use/adapt for their applications, and three published conference papers [1, 2, 3] describes the architecture and establishes its benefits. One of the papers (at SANE 2006) also documents the detailed architecture and provides guidelines to modify any Linux network interface driver (Donald Becker style drivers).

Earlier I had received lot of mail request from networking, network security/monitoring domain people, to get these codes or modified specific network drivers. I am looking forward that some developer will take up this project, churn out driver modifications for the most common net work cards and share with others. I will continue to add other drivers, and libpcap library modifications when I get more time.

Anybody willing to know the issues involved in real-time Linux or looking for real-time networking solutions can take a look at my Masters thesis. I found RTAI with LXRT to be a very tractable, good performance, cheap (free!) real-time Linux option. My thesis contains some useful performance related discussions on this.

mod_auth_any is an authentication Apache module using any external program.

Installation Instructions

As of version 1.4, the recommended compilation method uses the Makefile. As of version 1.5, please see the readme file in the docs directory, and use the Makefile.

Compiling with Apache See the Makefile. Make targets are apache1 and default (which compiles for apache2).

You may need the Apache source tree for this method.

Unpack the tarball (zcat mod_auth_any.tgz | tar -xf -)

Reconfigure apache with
--add-module=[location of mod_auth_any.c] --enable-shared=auth_any

Add the following to httpd.conf

LoadModule auth_any_module modules/mod_auth_any.so

AddModule mod_auth_any.c
Compiling Independently
(Recommended for RedHat) This method is easier, assuming you have a properly installed Apache rpm with all the apxs trimmings.

Unpack the tarball (zcat mod_auth_any.tgz | tar -xf -)

Configure with apxs
apxs -c mod_auth_any.c
apxs -i -a -n auth_any mod_auth_any.so
Add the following to httpd.conf

LoadModule auth_any_module libexec/mod_auth_any.so
AddModule mod_auth_any.c
Ignore complaints about EAPI, and dont forget to restart httpd.

MyShaper is a traffic shaper for use over an Internet interface. It is easily configurable from a configuration file.

This is an init script for RedHat or SYSV Linux to enable a shaper on a ppp0 interface.
This shaper limit your upstream and allow you to keep a few bandwidth for mail, messagers, irc, news (...) and brownsing your usuals Websites easily. Useful if you have a server or if you are using a sharing client like Edonkey or Napster. Just put the ip of your messager, news and mail server (..) in /etc/myshaper.cfg ./myshaper start and its done !

Watchdog application is a daemon that checks if your system is still working. If programs in user space are not longer executed it will reboot the system. However, this will not always work.
The Linux kernel can reset the system if serious problems are detected. This can be implemented via special watchdog hardware, or via a slightly less reliable software-only watchdog inside the kernel.
Either way, there needs to be a daemon that tells the kernel the system is working fine. If the daemon stops doing that, the system is reset. watchdog is such a daemon. It opens /dev/watchdog, and keeps writing to it often enough to keep the kernel from resetting, at least once per minute.
Each write delays the reboot time another minute. After a minute the watchdog hardware will cause the reset. In the case of a software watchdog, the ability to reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts.
Enhancements:
- Added "another-chance" repair script written by Erik Rossen
- Applied some changes to RedHat init script.
- Added sysconf script for RedHat.
- Made wd_keepalive honor config file option.
- Added wd_keealive manpage.
- Made wd_keepalive not start without a watchdog device.
- Fixed some typos in watchdog manpage.
- Updated Debian files.
