Subject: KSnuffle-0.7 network packet sniffer for KDE released
Date: Sun,  4 Jun 2000 19:10:06 GMT
Reply-To: mike@quaking.demon.co.uk

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


NOTE:  Versions up to 0.3 inclusive had a great big security hole. Anyone
       using these should upgrade!

NEW :  Version 0.7 is primarily a fix to build on Mandrake 7.0 with
       gcc 2.95. Otherwise there is one fix to the packet details
       display (source/destination address mixup), and a picture of me
       in the about box (OK, this is a pure ego trip, but the KDE site
       has a developers' gallery).

THANX: To everyone who helped sort the gcc 2.95 problem, and generally
       supplied bug reports and feedback. You might want to grab the
       latest upload for the above bug fix.

MANDRAKE:
       Should be OK now!

- -----[The Actual Announcement]----------------------------------------

KSnuffle is a network packet sniffer for KDE. Features include:

        * Basic filtering and packet selection via the GUI
        * Advanced filtering and packet selection via filter programs
        * Multiple concurrent monitors
        * Text and binary logging, plus replay of binary log files
        * Textual display of network traffic overview
        * Full(er) details of protocol and application data available
        * Display of data in TCP/IP streams
        * Network load histograms and time-averaged load display
        * Parallel display of multiple load histograms
        * Save and restored filter and packet selection configurations
        * Support for use by selected non-root users
        * Plugin support - 0.7 contains dns, summary and end-to-end plugins

In its current state it is, so far as I can tell, quite reliable. The
main area where is is lacking is actually decoding different network
packets. At the moment, it handles basic decoding of TCP/IP and UDP/IP,
plus ARP/RARP and ICMP. Packet decoding does not go down into the
application level except for DNS packets.

Also, KSnuffle uses libpcap-0.4, as used by tcpdump. As I only have access
to Linux boxen, I cannot build or test it for any other Unix. I'd be
interested if anyone else could try.

The plugin interface as changed a tiny bit, specifically the structure
returned by "getPlugin" has changed. If (in the unlikely event) anyone
has written a plugin, see the PLUGINS file for details.

KSnuffle is available from ftp://195.92.31.34/pub/ksnuffle-0.7/ ; there
is a homepage at http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/ksnuffle.html. The latter
contains some screen shots and other information.

Subject: fcron 0.8.0 : a new periodic command scheduler
Date: Sun,  4 Jun 2000 19:23:37 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


- --------------17A83251DCDB781DBDF543DA
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

 What is fcron ?
 ---------------

Fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it implements most
of its functionalities.

But contrary to Vixie Cron, fcron does not need your system to be up 7 days
a week, 24 hours a day : it also works well with systems which are
not running neither all the time nor regularly (contrary to anacrontab).

To do so, fcron allows you to use the standard mode in which you tell
it to execute one command at a given date and hour and to make it run
a command according to its time of execution, which is normally the same as
system up time. For example :

 Run the task 'save /home/ directory'
 every 3h15 of system up time.

and, of course, in order to make it really useful, the time remaining until
next execution is saved each time the system is stopped.

You can also say :

 run that command once between 2am and 5am

which will be done if the system is running at any time in this
interval.


 What is planed for next releases ?
 ----------------------------------

I'd like to :
 - port fcron to FreeBSD system
 - add a mode in which jobs are queued and executed one after another
 - add a mode in which jobs are run depending to the system load average

(propositions are welcome :
    you can mail me at fcron@free.fr)


 Where can I get it ?
 --------------------

You can either go to the project home page at :

 http://fcron.free.fr

or get it from metalab at

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/cron/fcron-0.8.0.src.tar.gz



Enjoy,

Thibault Godouet.

                            THIS MONTH:


           Topic: Network and Systems Management - 
                  An Open Source Revolution in  Enterprise Management 
         Speaker: Steve Giles, Open Network Management System 


         We discuss the effect of the open source revolution
         on network/systems management and compare technology
         in commercial platforms to open source alternatives.
         Emphasis is on the four value cornerstones of open source 
         network management; speed, price, customizability and technology. 

         Steve speaks regularly on network management and business topics 
         at international user groups and industry events. Steve's recent 
         focus is on Open Source network management at OpenNMS.org. 
         Received a B.S. degree in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University 
         in 1980. Joined Hewlett-Packard in 1982. Steve resigned his post at
         HP in 1992 to pursue independent consulting and co-formed Onion 
         Peel Software in 1994. Formed N*MANAGE is 1999 and launched
         OpenNMS.org in late 1999. 

         Steve is a certified OpenView and IT/O consultant and has taught 
         OpenView Basics and Advanced OpenView to over 2000 students.
