- chiark-backup: backup system for small systems and networks
These are the backup scripts used by chiark.
greenend. org.uk and other
systems belonging to the Sinister Greenend Organisation. Features:
* Suitable for single systems and small networks.
* Reasonably simple; they do what you tell it to.
* Hard failures when individual systems fail, to encourage fixing !
If you have a larger site you may wish to look at Amanda.
- chiark-really: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo)
really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user
they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect.
However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system
administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a
general security risk to the system.
.
Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any
more secure than the calling account. so there is never a need for a
password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the
called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo.
.
Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed
to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by
root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way
it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
- chiark-rwbuffer: readbuffer/writebuffer: prevents tape drive seesawing, etc.
readbuffer and writebuffer: programs for reading input from devices,
and writing output to, which don't like constant stopping and
starting, such as tape drives and audio playback devices.
- chiark-scripts: chiark system administration scripts
This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
by chiark.greenend. org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
Greenend Organisation. Featuring:
.
chiark-named-conf: a tool for managing nameserver configurations
and checking for suspected DNS problems. Its main functions are to
check that delegations are appropriate and working, that secondary
zones are slaved from the right places, and to generate a
configuration for BIND, from its own input file.
.
sync-accounts: a simple but flexible account info synchroniser.
sync-accounts is a tool for copying un*x account data from remote
systems and installing it locally. It is flexible and reasonably
straightforward, but lacks integration with other distributed
databases such as NIS.
.
cvs-repomove and cvs-adjustroot: tools for moving CVS repositories
and adjusting working trees.
.
palm-datebook-reminders: a program which emails mails you reminders
about the appointments in your Palm's Datebook.
.
cvsweb-list: cgi program to list ucgi (userv-utils) cvsweb repos
.
expire-iso8601: keep or expire backup trees named after their dates
.
gnucap2genspic, ngspice2genspic, genspic2gnuplot: convert gnucap
files and ngspice output files to genspic and genspic files to
gnuplot input so they can be plotted.
.
hexterm: connects to serial port and allows the user interact in
ASCII and hex. Ie, a hex "terminal" program which lets you speak a
serial port protocol directly. (Needs tcl8.4 to be installed.)
.
