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

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

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