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.

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

84 Description: chiark system administration utilities
85 This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
86 by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
87 Greenend Organisation. Currently featuring only:
89 with-lock-ex: a simple tool for acquiring a lockfile before running
90 another program or script.
92 summer: a tool for reporting complete details about a filesystem tree
93 in a parseable format, including checksums.
95 xacpi-simple: a very simple X client for displaying ACPI battery
98 watershed: a utility for saving on superfluous executions of an
99 idempotent command. (This is the same utility as shipped separately
100 in Ubuntu's udev, but with slightly different defaults and a
101 different install location.)
103 summer and watershed require the installation of the Recommended
104 crypto libraries; xacpi-simple needs the Suggested X libraries.
106 Package: chiark-really
110 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
111 Description: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo)
112 really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user
113 they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect.
114 However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system
115 administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a
116 general security risk to the system.
118 Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any
119 more secure than the calling account. so there is never a need for a
120 password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the
121 called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo.
123 Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed
124 to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by
125 root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way
126 it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
