+Description: chiark system administration scripts
+ This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
+ by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
+ Greenend Organisation. 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.

+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.
