Source: Freshmeat Daily News Msort is a program for sorting files in
sophisticated ways. Records need not be single
lines. Key fields may be selected by
position, tag, or character range. For each key, distinct exclusions, multigraphs, substitutions.
and a sort order may be defined. Comparisons may be lexicographic, numeric, hybrid, random, by string length, date, time, or ISO8601 timestamp. Optional keys are supported. Msort uses the Unicode character set and provides full Unicode case-folding. The basic program has a somewhat complex command line interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI.

Changes:
--ascii reparsing of mcelog output was fixed.
--filter was added and known broken K8 GART errors
are filtered out. The --ignorenodev argument was
added and is used in the cron script (which avoids
cron errors in Xen guest kernels). The new --dmi
argument was added to resolve machine check
addresses to DIMM numbers in SMBIOS (however, this
is unreliable due to wide-spread BIOS bugs).
Argument decoding was fixed to support -- and to
allow arguments in any order. --ascii was
clarified in the manpage.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News ConTagged is a Web-based address book for small

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A fix was made for filtering the IDMEF field using
the "!=" operator, which resulted in filtering out
events where the field did not exist. Listed IDMEF
value ordering is enforced: values were sometime
unordered because of an uninitialized position
problem. Error reporting from perl and python
bindings was fixed. The libpreludedb header files
were made C++ compiler friendly. A "move" command
in preludedb-admin was implemented. When SQL query
logging is enabled, the time taken to execute the
query is logged. An opaque plugin API was added.
Verbose error reporting makes the error API viable
for more drivers.

to security, EnGarde Secure Linux incorporates
intrusion alert capabilities, a complete suite of
e- business applications using AllCommerce,
improved authentication and access control, strong

that claims to be secure. EnGarde is a collection
of best-of-breed applications from many sources
tuned to provide exactly what is necessary to
maintain a secure Internet presence. Featuring the
Linux Intrusion Detection System integrated into
its design, as well as Web-manageable Tripwire,
tools from many Open Source security projects
including Openwall, snort network intrusion
detection system, and extensive host security
improvements, EnGarde Secure Linux strives to be
the most secure, yet functional, Linux
distribution to date.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Pak transfers multiple, possibly very big, regular files between possibly different hosts you have shell access to. It transmits segment IDs instead of file names and uses on-the-fly Blowfish-CBC encryption while being absolutely restartable with practically no loss of data already transmitted. Encrypted pak streams can be stored in intermediary regular files on untrusted hosts. Several stored pak streams, even truncated ones, can be merged for re-piping without decryption. Integrity is never checked. File offsets of any magnitude are supported via recompilation (the default width is 64 bits). Either UNIX 95 or UNIX 98 conformance is required and sufficient.
