Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 23:01:57 CST
Reply-To: <ank@bigpond.net.au>
Oz Insight is announcing release of Ozway � its binary enhanced News-to-Web
gateway.
Ozway is designed to provide a WYSIWYG access to Usenet binary groups
carrying images (though it can be used with other newsgroups as well) by
offering image thumbnails to users for preview. Users can see what they are
about to download and thus avoid downloading unwanted material and improve
dramatically the value received for time and money, and their satisfaction
with the service.
Ozway is easy to use (point and click) and easy to run (start and forget).
It is a fast and scalable application capable of supporting hundreds of
simultaneous connections from users.
The main value of Ozway to ISPs is a high quality interface to their news
server that Ozway can provide. Now every ISP can offer a high quality
service before available only from a few commercial companies specializing
in the Usenet area.
We hope that Ozway can help you to introduce your users to the Usenet, make
the Usenet fun and popular among your users. This may help you to achieve
huge savings in external traffic because if your users start downloading
binaries from your local news server, they won뭪 use your external Web link
that much. There are lots of binary goodies posted in newsgroups. And it is
amazing how few people know about the Usenet and use it.
It takes only 10 minutes to install and configure Ozway. It runs as a
separate HTTP daemon and is just another client to your news server. So, it
will not disrupt work of your news server or do nasty things to your Web
server.
Ozway has a built-in cache, so, it can be used to take part of the load off
your news server. Also, if you don뭪 have a news server and are outsourcing
news service, you can use Ozway as an on-site cache.
To read more about Ozway, please visit this page:
http://www.ozinsight.com/ozway/index.php
We are interested in Ozway reaching end users ASAP. This is why we are
offering free licenses to ISPs who start using Ozway soon. The early
starters program is open till the end of June. Please read more here:
http://www.ozinsight.com/ozway/start.html
There are versions available for Linux 7.1 or later, FreeBSD 4.3 or later
and Win2K/NT.

Subject: PasTmon-0.1-22(beta) released
Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 23:02:05 CST
PasTmon-01.22(beta) now available at http://www.pastmon.org
PasTmon is a passive network application response time monitor utilising
packet capture (via libpcap), tracking sessions maintaining transaction
state and collecting metrics of server/network response times, segment
size negotiation and TCP window size advertisements.
The goal of the PasTmon project is to provide an engine to measure
application service levels from the perspective of perceivable user
response times.
Protocols supported by the default configuration are http, telnet,
rlogin, rsh, ftp (control channel), smtp, pop3 and irc.
Mechanisms are provided for data summarisation/reduction and import into
a PostgreSQL database.
A web PHP4 based front-end to example R statistical graphics is provided.
(PasTmon is licensed under the GNU General Public License.)
Release Notes:
Added support for PostgreSQL traffic measurements.
New TCP window metrics.
Minor improvements to pastmon-php graphs.
Added new plugin to measure TCP three-way-handshake.

Subject: Dump/restore 0.4b29 released
Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 23:02:12 CST
Reply-To: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
Hello everyone,
A new version of dump/restore, the ext2/ext3 Linux filesystem
backup utilities, has been released today.
This new release has several miscelaneous fixes and enhancements,
as per the changelog for details, appended below.
The dump/restore homepage is located at:
http://dump.sourceforge.net
Enjoy,
Stelian.
Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002)
==================================================================
1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
(incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
J�rg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
star package.
2. Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges <amentges@jumpline.com>
which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
when dumping a huge number of inodes).
3. Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories
that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were
sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version
of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and
help testing the patch.
4. Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek <bav@epost.de>
which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to
a remote CD-burner server.
5. Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt),
and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values
to assure multiple platform compatibility.
6. Documented the -d option in restore.
7. Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number
of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions
to include interesting debugging output.
8. Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator
whether to do so. Patch submitted by Tony Clayton <tonyc@e-smith.com>
and Peter Samuel <peters@e-smith.com>.

Subject: Announcement, iptables gui

Bifrost, Firewalling made easy
Bifrost is a firewall management interface to iptables.
The system is inspired by Checkpoint and Watchguard firewall management.
We looked at the way Checkpoint works with source, destination, action
and logging. At the same time, we work with incoming and outgoing
traffic in a similar way as Watchguard and PIX Firewalls.
Please have a look at our static demo site
http://bifrost.heimdalls.com/demo.html

Subject: cgipaf 1.0.1
Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 23:02:21 CST
"cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail
Forwarding by a web interface.
CGIpaf 1.0.1 is the latest stable version of CGIpaf
cgipaf 1.0.1 is available at
http://stafwag.netfirms.com/cgipaf/
mirror http://stafwag.pws.the-ecorp.com/cgipaf/
debian ( woody ) packages are available at
http://stafwag.pws.the-ecorp.com/debian/
REQUIREMENTS
+ a Un*x server
+ a mailserver that uses procmail
+ webserver
+ gcc, ndbm or gdbm
OVERVIEW
cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which allow
users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users to
view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS
configuration when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a
.procmailrc in the user's home directory. A user with too many invalid
logins can be locked. The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the
configuration file, so you can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed
to use cgipaf.
CHANGELOG
* version 1.0.1 ( 5 Jun 2002 )
+ improved cracklib detection
* version 1.0.1rc1 ( 21 May 2002 )
+ updates to configure
+ documentation update
* version 1.0.1rc1pre2 ( 17 May 2002 )
+ FreeBSD support
* version 1.0.1rc1pre1 ( 29 Apr 2002 )
+ md5 password support on non-pam systems ( Slackware 8.0 )
kind regards,
