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 !

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

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