(Page 5 of 5) < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 Category: Replacement » Applications LPRng Added 2001-10-22 The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is completely new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhances security checks; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism. For users that require secure and/or authenticated printing support, LPRng supports Kerberos V and/or PGP authentication methods. Additional authentication support is extremely simple to add. Npasswd Added 2001-10-22 Npasswd is a pretty-much-plug-compatable replacement for passwd(1). This version incorporates a password checking system that disallows simple-minded passwords. passwdd Added 2001-10-22 This package consists of two parts. One server based passwd/chsh/chfn replacement, and a server based /etc/group editor which gives each and every user the ability to privately manage one group on his own. Requires perl. xping 2.1 Added 2001-10-22 xping presents a list of computer systems with a graphic indication of whether or not each system is alive (that is, responsive to ICMP ECHO_REQUEST datagrams or ``pings''). Each system in the list is checked automatically with a period which can be controlled with command line arguments or X11 resources. HyperTrace Added 2001-10-22 AnalogX HyperTrace is a GUI version of traceroute, which shows you the route that information travels from your machine to another machine on the internet. HyperTrace is also faster, and not just a little bit; an average of 20-30x faster than before. It displays each hop, machine name, machine response time, and the route TTL. Browse by category |
