Firewall is a set of scripts (firewall, fwup and fwdown) that implement an ipchains firewall and various forms of network address and port translation. All you have to do is read the policy file and edit it to reflect your topology and filtering policy.
The policy file is composed of sections in which you need to specify: this hosts trusted and untrusted network interfaces; this hosts role and function within the network topology; the incoming and outgoing services to allow and the internal and external hosts that may take part in them. It has been designed to make this as painless and flexible as possible.
Each section contains detailed explanations and advice on things such as when to start the firewall and the security implications of various well known internet services and advice on how to allow them safely. It is intended to introduce administrators to some subtleties of packet filtering quickly so that they can make better informed security decisions and achieve and maintain effective network security (at least the packet filtering part) in a very short time. Of course, it will not prevent you from making bad network security, but you will have been warned.
Main features:
- Single Host (no forwarding, no address/port translation)
- Forwarding (no address/port translation)
- Masquerading (outgoing M:1 NAPT)
- Port Forwarding (Masquerading + incoming 1:M NAPT)
- Alias Port Forwarding (Masquerading + incoming N:M NAPT)
- Static NAT (incoming and outgoing 1:1 NAT)

Radzilla is a port of the well known physically based ray tracer Radiance to the C++ programming language, including a GUI based on the QT toolkit from Trolltech.
Radzilla project aims at modifying and optimizing classic Radiance for complex visualization applications in architecture, art or design.
The project started in 2004, 1 1/2 years after Radiance itself became Open Source. In its first stages, it was a means to collect previous Radiance-related work (self-developed, like the direct cache or the color4pict primitive, or externally developed, like Roland Schregles Photon Map) and merge it with the classic core.
Further developments followed soon (like the scene primitive or a new source partitioning scheme). With the recent implementation of a GUI frontend, the focus has temporarily moved more to the periphery.
The overall aim is not to hide the complexity of Radiance, but just to make the use and handling of it easier. Including image processing features based on Radiance classic modules (pfilt, pcond) in the new Version 1.1 now means a next step towards setting up a new environment for working with the plethora of tools offered by the Radiance suite, either in their original version or enhanced with additional features.
Main features:
Code restructuring
- The majority of the Radzilla core consists out of original Radiance code, which is just rearranged, modularized and grouped into C++ classes. The idea was to get aquainted with C++ and object oriented programming, nothing more. Radiance itself is highly optimized, so there is simply no need to rewrite everything.
Increased Flexibility
- Radzilla offers a higher degree of flexibility and modularization, e.g. with the possibility to set individual render parameters for each light source, or with the scene primitive, which lets you insert a full scene including light sources and a different set of render parameters.
New Material and Modifier Primitives
- A handful of new modifiers have been introduced, offering more (or easier) ways to modify surface and medium properties, generate falsecolor output for selected objects, perform semitransparent image mapping etc.
New Modules
- Radzilla currently contains the Photon Map, a forward raytracer routine written by Roland Schregle at Fraunhofer ISE, Freiburg, an optional New Source Partitioning Scheme and the Direct Cache, an optimization strategy for scenes containing many light sources.
Full compatibility with classic Radiance
- Radzilla supports all geometry and material/modifier primitives, all parameters and the octree structure of Radiance classic, i.e. it accepts any valid Radiance input. It also produces the same output format (a Radiance pic).
- The word full has to be taken cum grano salis. In turn of continuing development on both branches, you will unfortunately find the one or the other newly added Radiance classic option which is not supported yet by Radzilla.

dTemplate 2.5 is known as the most rapid templating system in the known universe (at least at the time of creating this project). This templating system is lightweight and supports the declarative programming style. It is fast, because it compiles the template once and the the compiled code is parsed by a highly optimized C code.

Drall is a script which allows users to access their directories and files remotely without the need of using insecure FTP and telnet. It enables the user to treat the remote file system as if it was on their local hard disk through a normal Web browser.
The interface resembles the well known Norton Commander and GNU Midnight Commander. Single or dual-panel views makes it easy to see an overview of the file system and the modular design means you only use the features you need.
Drall is written in Perl for easy customization and expansion.
Requierments:
- Perl 5.004 (or later; tested with 5.004, 5.004_05, 5.005, 5.005_03, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, and 5.8.0)
- Web server and Web browser supporting the Common Gateway Interface
- Web browser supporting HTML 4 and form-based file upload

Webware for Python project is a suite of Python packages and tools for developing object-oriented, web-based applications.
The suite uses well known design patterns and includes a fast Application Server, Servlets, Python Server Pages (PSP), Object-Relational Mapping, Task Scheduling, Session Management, and many other features. Webware is very modular and easily extended.
Webware for Python is well proven and platform-independent. It is compatible with multiple web servers, database servers and operating systems.
Enhancements:
- It contains some fixes and improvements of WebKit, and it adds some more configuration options that have been requested.

LinPopUp-2 is a GTK+2 port of well known LinPopUp program.
Actually, it is a frontend for smbclient -M, so it allows you to send and receive messages to and from Winpopup users. There are more features on original LinPopUp page at LittleIgloo.Org.
Since Jean-Marc Jacquet stopped developing in early 2000, life was changing. GTK+ v2.x became more popular than v1.2.x, several patches appears on the Net. I was asking to do something to make LinPopUp work better on modern system. So I made this GTK+2 port for myself and glad to share it with people now.
Main features:
- Doesnt need to always run :
- If you close it, it will continue to receive all messages that are send to you. You can even quit Xwindow, and still receive messages. In fact, the only way to miss a message that was sent to you is to have your computer turned off.
-
- Messages are kept from session to session. You will always retrieve a message that was sent to you, ... if you have not deleted it.
-
- Can be run minimized :
- It will raise automatically each time a new message arrives.
-
- And other features like :
- Possibility to reply to a message, clipboard cut & past, etc.

HTML Include solves the problem that the Hypertext Markup Language doesnt know a command for including other files into a source file. HTML Include uses specially styled comments to refer to other files, which will be inserted at this position.
Unlike to the well known Server Side Include mechanism, this tool pre-processes the HTML files, resulting in files that have all referenced source files directly embedded. Thus it does not depend on any Web-server for correct appearance.
As a bonus, HTML Include also writes the current date to the "last modification" line and brower meta, which you usually forget (or do not bother) to update.
Enhancements:
- This release adds Current Date Replacement for both Custom Tag and Browser Meta Line.
- Tags are now allowed to appear anywhere in the text, not just on single lines.
- This release can process multiple input files.
- The package has been autoconfiscated.

Apache .NET Ant Library doesnt strive to replace NAnt or MSBuild, its main purpose is to help those of us who work on projects crossing platform boundaries. With this library you can use Ant to build and test the Java as well as the .NET parts of your project.
This library provides a special version of the < exec > task tailored to run .NET executables. On Windows it will assume the Microsoft framework is around and run the executable directly, while it will invoke Mono on any other platform. Of course you can override these assumptions.
Based on this a few tasks to run well known .NET utilities from within Ant are provided, namely tasks to run NUnit, NAnt, MSBuild and the Wix toolkit.
The initial .NET tasks of Ant (compiler tasks for C#, J# and VB.NET for example) have also been moved to this Antlib and will see further development here.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a few attributes to the NUnit, NAnt, and MSBuild tasks that allow more control over failing tasks.
