using the KDE environment. Several KDE plugins
allow KDE applications to take advantage of
Clearcase features.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:

Source: Freshmeat Daily News MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
If one or more windows were hidden, clearing them would cause a segfault. This has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News ufdbGuard is a URL filter. The URL filter blocks
access to sets of Web sites on the Internet and is
designed to be used with the popular Web proxy
server, Squid. The multithreaded daemon uses a
fast algorithm that does 25,000 URL
verifications/sec on an Intel 2.8 GHz CPU.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release uses the ufdbguardd.pid file with the main PID to send signals to. There is a minor URL parsing change: you can substitute any // inside a URL with a single /.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News PLPA is an attempt to solve the problem of
multiple API's for processor affinity within
Linux. Specifically, the functions
sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() have
numbers and types of parameters depending on your
Linux vendor and/or version of GLibc. This is
quite problematic for applications attempting to
use processor affinity in Linux for compile-time,
link-time, and run-time reasons. The PLPA provides
a single processor affinity API that developers
can write to in order to get both consistent
behavior and binary compatibility across different
Linux installations (assuming that you have an
executable that is otherwise binary Linux portable).

Source: Freshmeat Daily News fupids2 is a so-called human oriented IDS based on
the FUPIDS project. fupids2 calculates an attacker
level for every user on all Unix/Linux/BSD systems
in the network. It looks at the behavior of the
user (the programs the user uses, the daytime the
user is active, the building and room the user
uses, the part of the room in which the user sits,
and so on) and reports if the user engages in
behavior that is unusual for that person. This
method can often detect accounts overtaken by
attackers.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds a script that creates sorted HTML output of fupids2's logs. The logging system was improved.

is activated by the -r option and prints a
complete status report of the controller and any
events in the event queue.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:

configure script and some cleanup was done of the
existing code.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables
the execution of user programs in a kernel mode.
In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access
kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel
modules, user programs are executed as ordinary

scheduling and paging are performed as usual.
Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the
kernel can be ensured through such methods as
static type checking, software fault isolation,
and so forth.

Changes:
This version has been merged with the 2.6.15 Linux
kernel.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (MP3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files. mpgedit can cut an input MPEG file into one or more output files, as well as join one or more input MPEG files into a single output file. Since no decoding or encoding occurs during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit. mpgedit features command line, curses-based, and graphical interfaces. The curses and graphical versions feature an interactive playback mode for fast selection and verification of edit begin and end times.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:

decoder was implemented using MAD (MPEG Audio
Decoder or libmad). All new features from the
0.71dev branch were merged into this branch.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Itzam is an embedded database engine that creates
and manipulates files containing variable-length
random access records. Information is referenced

complex heuristics on top of the Itzam core functions.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Performance optimizations were done. The
groundwork was laid for XML import/export/schemas.

Its goal is to include the most complete set of useful security tools and still maintain a small footprint so it can fit on a 210MB mini-CD.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Numerous bugs in the boot process and "copy2ram"
option were fixed, so now Arudius can load and run
fully from the RAM. Over 20 new security tools
were added to the list, and the size of the ISO
file was further decreased by carefully selecting
only the packages needed for Arudius to run.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Aargh is a code generator written in C++. Based on
specifications defined in an XML file, it
generates C or C++ code to parse a command line,
using the getopt() facility available in Unix,

recent devices are supported. The program is
mostly useful in setting the resolution to 800 cpi
or higher on mice that boot at 400 cpi (such as
the MX500, MX510, and MX1000), and disabling
SmartScroll or Cruise Control for those who would
rather use the two extra buttons as ordinary mouse
buttons. lomoco is a fork of lmctl.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A patch was added for the MX518, MX510, and MX310.
The lomoco.xml manpage template was added. Memory

Source: Freshmeat Daily News dnshistory provides a means for storing a history
of DNS/name changes over time from the IP
Addresses gathered from within Web log files. At
its simplest, it will do massively parallel name
lookups very quickly. The lookups are not DNS

system is configured with. A second mode will take
a Web log file and replace the IP addresses with
the previously stored names, sending the resulting
output to STDOUT.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Import functionality was added to complement the existing "dump". All incoming names are cleaned up and "funky" characters are stripped. Storage databases are now opened RW or RO as appropriate to avoid some permission woes.
