About: Sendmail is a Mail Transfer Agent, which is the program that moves mail from one machine to another. Sendmail implements a general internetwork mail routing facility, featuring aliasing and forwarding, automatic routing to network gateways, and flexible configuration. Changes: A workaround for a broken Linux setuid() implementation (a normal user process has the ability to subvert the setuid() call such that it is impossible for a root process to drop its privileges); more vigilance around set*uid(), setgid(), setgroups(), initgroups(), and chroot() calls.
About: Figaro's Password Manager (FPM) is a GNOME application that allows you to securely store your passwords, which are encrypted with the blowfish algorithm.

Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode Linux console. Twin runs on X11, libggi, itself, the Linux console, and any termcap/ncurses-compatible tty. It supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each display on the fly. Changes: Some bugfixes including mouse redrawing problems on ttys, use of compressed connections for twdisplay and twattach, new generic display option 'noinput', new 'make menuconfig' featuring dialog interface, completely rewritten cut-and-paste code, and addition of cut-and-paste support to '-hw=twin' and twdisplay.

Finally, GuestCall is extremely compact: just one Perl script and one data file. Changes: Nearly every function has been overhauled, and many new functions have been added. These new features include HTML and keyword filtering, site integration, file locking, improved data file format, and Web-based message clearing. Current users should upgrade to protect against HTML and JavaScript code being placed in their guest book.

About: GObject Builder (GOB) is a simple preprocessor for easily creating GObjects (glib objects). It reads a class description file with inline C code and produces .c and .h object files for you. It allows you to easily use most of the features of the GObject system and avoids typos by reducing the amount of code needed. In general, the amount of code is about the same as for OO languages such as Java or C++, but you still have to only use C and you get all the power of the GObject system. Changes: Fixes for documentation and the behaviour of the private header switches.
About: The CDDB/CDDB_get Perl module gets the CDDB info for an audio CD. The included script was intended as a demo for CDDB_get, but over time it has gained powerful features like the ability to write to a database, offline mode, HTTP mode (including proxy), saving in standard XMCD format, and writing 'lame' commands. Changes: An offline mode (try cddb.pl -h).
About: dspspy is a sound recording utility for spyíng. dspspy waits until a sound is detected and then it records it to a unique file. dspspy records sounds from the microphone to raw sound files. This can be used as a surveillance system. Changes: A new utility for calibrating the mic threshold.

Virtually every task it performs is optional, providing immense flexibility. It educates the installing admin regarding the topic at hand before asking any question. The interactive nature allows the program to be more thorough when securing, while the educational component produces an admin who is less likely to compromise the increased security. Changes: A stable release that runs on non-virgin systems and uses a much smarter architecture.
About: Glimmer is an all-purpose programmer's editor for Linux. Features include revert, find/replace, goto line, syntax highlighting, multiple-level undo/redo, tear-away windows, quick access popup menu, auto-indenting, Python scripting support, and many other standard editor features.

About: The Cyrus IMAP server is generally intended to be run on sealed systems, where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to Cyrus. All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. The private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in efficiency, scalability, and administratability. Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted. The server supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies, multiple SASL mechanisms, and the Sieve mail filtering language. Changes: Many bug & build fixes, SORT/THREAD support, and some documentation improvements.
About: Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool.
