Afick-Webmin This Webmin module facilitates Afick remote administration. It lets administrators to consult history and archives logs, change the Afick configuration, and run Afick.

Am-utils The Berkeley Automounter, Amd, maintains a cache of mounted file systems, and lets users dynamically control which file system to mount with selectors. Selectors, which may be combined, allow decisions of the form "hostname is this," or "architecture is not that." Amd also supports numerous file system types, including NFS, UFS and the novel program file system. The combination of selectors and multiple file system types means that identical configuration files can be used on all machines. Amd will not hang if a remote server goes down, and can determine when a remote server has become inaccessible and mount replacement file systems when they become available.

Cedar Backup 'Cedar Backup' supports backups of files on local and remote hosts to CD-R or CD-RW media over a secure network connection. It also includes extensions that understand how to back up MySQL databases and Subversion repositories, and can be easily extended to support other data sources. It is focused around weekly backups to a single disc, with the expectation that the disc will be changed or overwritten at the beginning of each week. With appropriate hardware, Cedar Backup can also write multisession discs.

Conc Conc is a serial console concentrator package. It features remote maintenance of systems over IP, and concurrent connections to consoles. It can pool serial lines on multiple machines into one system, which lets you manage a virtually unlimited number of consoles- ideal for large server farms, clusters or off-site server rooms.

Conserver 'Conserver' provides remote access to serial port consoles and logs all data to a central host. It supports both local and network serial connections, and can replay the server console history from the console app even if the server is down. Multiple users can connect to a single serial connection.

Dish The 'diligence' shell (dish) lets you execute commands on several hosts. By using expect to automate interactive remote logins via ssh, rsh or telnet, dish executes commands, sequentially or simultaneously, on all specified hosts. It is a powerful system administration tool for a group (cluster) of heterogeneous hosts allowing remote control from a single point of management. 'dish' is very flexible, and has similar functionality to IBM's dsh (distributed shell) as well as the ability to remotely execute commands which require authentication - ie in case of password change, scp inside ssh, password-protected smbfs mount, su shell, etc.

Fallback-reboot 'fallback-reboot' is a last resort, when you need to remotely reboot a computer. It maximizes its ability to get the job done by completely avoiding touching the hard disk; it does not opens any files, it does not fork or exec, and it locks itself into memory to avoid swapping/paging. It includes optional cryptography.

Fget 'fget' is a tool for mirroring remote files via FTP. It was designed as an analog to the GNU wget utility. The fget package includes an FTP client library, so that others can make use of FTP from within their own C programs.

Fsh 'fsh (fast remote shell)' is a drop-in rsh-compatible replacement for ssh that automatically reuses ssh tunnels. Also included is fcp, which is a drop-in replacement for scp that uses the same tunnels. Logging in to a remote system with a cryptographic solution such as lsh or ssh takes time. This solves the problem of slow logins due to the computationally expensive key exchanges that occur when you establish a remote connection is established with a machine that has ssh or lsh.

Fuse 'fuse' (Filesystem in Userspace) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also provides a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

FusionDirectory FusionDirectory allows you to set and manage the various components of a single operating system's information system, or the management of multiple workstations and servers. This includes management of:

• User and group creation and ACL
• Telephony systems
• Network service (SMTP / DNS / DHCP / Samba / CUPS)

FusionDirectory is user-friendly and includes a number of features and modes including:

• A copy and paste system
• Template mode for account and system
• Snapshot mode
• System Dashboard (user, telephone report, installation and deployment)

Generic NQS Batch processing systems were traditionally used to share limited computing power between people. Today, batch processing systems are also used to place work on workstations outside office hours, to make the most of an investment in a costly UNIX workstations. Also, with the steady advance of UNIX for PC computers, you can combine Generic NQS and GNU/Linux to build processor farms for just a fraction of the price of commercial systems.

Grdesktop This package provides a graphical frontend for the remote desktop client (rdesktop).

Hocuspocus Hocuspocus is a small and extensible webserver for controlling key Linux apps remotely via a web server. This means you can adjust things like system volume from any browser, including a wifi enabled PDA such as the Iphone. Hocuspocus is written in Python using Greg Stein's EZT templating system. Support Apps:

• Audacious
• VLC
• Alsa sound system
• Playlists

Isync 'isync' synchronizes a local maildir-style mailbox with a remote IMAP4 mailbox, suitable for use in IMAP-disconnected mode. Multiple copies of the remote IMAP4 mailbox can be maintained, and all flags are synchronized. TLS/SSL is supported via imaps: or STARTTLS.

LTSP The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) is designed to make it easier to setup diskless workstations (Thin Clients) in a GNU/Linux environment.

LazyFTP LazyFTP is a PHP script that keeps remote files in sync with local files via FTP. It does this by monitoring the local directory tree for additions, changes, and deletions, and uploading or deleting files on the FTP server when necessary.

Msredird 'msredird' implements the "Telnet Com Port Control Option" protocol RFC 2217 running in server mode. This protocol makes it possible for networked computers to access central pool of modems.

NNFS 'NNFS' lets users make symmetric mirrors between a set of disconnected computers, therefore letting users have the same files on multiple computers without needing a server. If the computers are really unconnected a writable medium must be used to move data between computers (ie a floppy disc, usb key, or usb disk).

NetCPR 'NetCPR' is a tool to get remote network services back online after your machine gets another IP, killing your remote connections. When machine A changes its IP, some services on machine B don't see the change until restarted. This program has machine B monitor machine A, and gets those programs on machine B to connect to the new IP of machine A (software to be run on machine B).
