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 includes the 'day of the week' input in the calculation of the attacker level. It can detect accounts that are used on unusual days in this way.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other
features, it offers support for reliable syslog
over TCP and RFC 3195, writing to MySQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps), and the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus able to work with the same config file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require changing the config file, but in general, this should be fairly easy.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This version offers an even smarter message
parser, detecting more syslog header formats.
Unfortunately, there is a large variety in header
formatting among the diffent syslogds, and rsyslog
now does an even finer job at guessing how the
message is formatted. Also, the release contains
support for the upcoming IETF syslog-protocol
message format standard. This is a recommended
update for all users of the development branch.

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:
As a new feature, URLs that are not part of the
URL database (uncategorized URLs) can be uploaded
to www.urlfilterdb.com for categorisation and
inclusion in the database. The URL filter can no
longer be fooled by putting an extra dot (.) after
a domain name. All threads are no longer stopped
when one thread receives a fatal signal. A
hard-coded directory in the configuration file
which caused "make test" to fail if not used in
/local/src/ufdbGuard-1.x was fixed. "make install"
no longer fails if "." is not in the PATH.
