Binary packages built by this source
- chiark-really: really - a tool for gaining privilege (simple, realistic sudo)
really is a program that allows certain users to become whatever user
they like on request. It is a bit like sudo in that respect.
However, really is simpler than sudo, and doesn't give the system
administrator any false security promises. So really is less of a
general security risk to the system.
.
Unlike sudo it does not pretend that the called account can be any
more secure than the calling account, so there is never a need for a
password. If you wanted to restrict which commands and functions the
called user can perform, use userv, not really or sudo.
.
Also unlike sudo, really only works if the calling user is supposed
to be equivalent to root. But, really can also be used by
root-equivalent users to become any user, not just root; in this way
it can be a replacement for certain uses of su.
- chiark-rwbuffer: readbuffer/writebuffer: prevents tape drive seesawing, etc.
readbuffer and writebuffer: programs for reading input from devices,
and writing output to, which don't like constant stopping and
starting, such as tape drives and audio playback devices.
- chiark-utils-bin: chiark system administration utilities
This package contains a number of small administration scripts used
by chiark.greenend. org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister
Greenend Organisation. Currently featuring only:
.
with-lock-ex: a simple tool for acquiring a lockfile before running
another program or script.
.
prefork-interp: Wrapper to speed up script startup;
requires scripting langauge module from chiark-scripts.
.
summer: a tool for reporting complete details about a filesystem tree
in a parseable format, including checksums.
.
xbatmon-simple: a very simple X client for displaying battery
charge status.
.
xduplic-copier: a very simple X client for typing into multiple windows
at once.
.
watershed: a utility for saving on superfluous executions of an
idempotent command. (This is the same utility as shipped separately
in Ubuntu's udev, but with slightly different defaults and a
different install location.)
.
rcopy-repeatedly: a utility for repeatedly copying a file from one
host to another, to keep a copy constantly up to date.
.
acctdump: for reading process accounting files.
.
summer and watershed require the installation of the Recommended
crypto libraries; xbatmon-simple needs the Suggested X libraries.
.
cgi-fcgi-interp: for use with cgi-fcgi as a #! interpreter
