Featuring: . chiark-named-conf: a tool for managing nameserver configurations and checking for suspected DNS problems. Its main functions are to check that delegations are appropriate and working, that secondary zones are slaved from the right places, and to generate a configuration for BIND, from its own input file. . sync-accounts: a simple but flexible account info synchroniser. sync-accounts is a tool for copying un*x account data from remote systems and installing it locally. It is flexible and reasonably straightforward, but lacks integration with other distributed databases such as NIS. . cvs-repomove and cvs-adjustroot: tools for moving CVS repositories and adjusting working trees. . palm-datebook-reminders: a program which emails mails you reminders about the appointments in your Palm's Datebook.

Package: chiark-utils-bin Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: ${shlibs:Suggests} Section: utils Priority: extra Description: chiark system administration utilities This package contains a number of small administration scripts used by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister Greenend Organisation. Currently featuring only: . with-lock-ex: a simple tool for acquiring a lockfile before running another program or script. Package: chiark-really Section: admin Priority: extra Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Description: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo) really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect. However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a general security risk to the system. . Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any more secure than the calling account. so there is never a need for a password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo. . Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
