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

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

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