14 Description: backup system for small systems and networks
15 These are the backup scripts used by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other
16 systems belonging to the Sinister Greenend Organisation. Features:
17 * Suitable for single systems and small networks.
18 * Reasonably simple; they do what you tell it to.
19 * Hard failures when individual systems fail, to encourage fixing !
20 If you have a larger site you may wish to look at Amanda.

30 Description: chiark system administration scripts
31 This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
32 by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
33 Greenend Organisation. Featuring:
35 chiark-named-conf: a tool for managing nameserver configurations
36 and checking for suspected DNS problems. Its main functions are to
37 check that delegations are appropriate and working, that secondary
38 zones are slaved from the right places, and to generate a
39 configuration for BIND, from its own input file.
41 sync-accounts: a simple but flexible account info synchroniser.
42 sync-accounts is a tool for copying un*x account data from remote
43 systems and installing it locally. It is flexible and reasonably
44 straightforward, but lacks integration with other distributed
45 databases such as NIS.
47 cvs-repomove and cvs-adjustroot: tools for moving CVS repositories
48 and adjusting working trees.
50 palm-datebook-reminders: a program which emails mails you reminders
51 about the appointments in your Palm's Datebook.
53 cvsweb-list: cgi program to list ucgi (userv-utils) cvsweb repos
55 expire-iso8601: keep or expire backup trees named after their dates
57 gnucap2genspic, ngspice2genspic, genspic2gnuplot: convert gnucap
58 files and ngspice output files to genspic and genspic files to
59 gnuplot input so they can be plotted.
61 hexterm: connects to serial port and allows the user interact in
62 ASCII and hex. Ie, a hex "terminal" program which lets you speak a
63 serial port protocol directly. (Needs tcl8.4 to be installed.)
65 random-word, remountresizereiserfs,
66 summarise-mailbox-preserving-privacy
68 Package: chiark-rwbuffer
72 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
73 Description: readbuffer/writebuffer: prevents tape drive seesawing, etc.
74 readbuffer and writebuffer: programs for reading input from devices,
75 and writing output to, which don't like constant stopping and
76 starting, such as tape drives and audio playback devices.

85 Description: chiark system administration utilities
86 This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
87 by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
88 Greenend Organisation. Currently featuring only:
90 with-lock-ex: a simple tool for acquiring a lockfile before running
91 another program or script.
93 summer: a tool for reporting complete details about a filesystem tree
94 in a parseable format, including checksums.
96 xbatmon-simple: a very simple X client for displaying battery
99 xduplic-copier: a very simple X client for typing into multiple windows
102 watershed: a utility for saving on superfluous executions of an
103 idempotent command. (This is the same utility as shipped separately
104 in Ubuntu's udev, but with slightly different defaults and a
105 different install location.)
107 rcopy-repeatedly: a utility for repeatedly copying a file from one
108 host to another, to keep a copy constantly up to date.
110 summer and watershed require the installation of the Recommended
111 crypto libraries; xbatmon-simple needs the Suggested X libraries.
113 Package: chiark-really
117 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
118 Description: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo)
119 really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user
120 they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect.
121 However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system
122 administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a
123 general security risk to the system.
125 Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any
126 more secure than the calling account. so there is never a need for a
127 password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the
128 called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo.
130 Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed
131 to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by
132 root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way
133 it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
