Subject: tkfirewall 0.9 - category-based IP filter configuration GUI
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 10:04:39 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The initial release of the firewall configuration package TKFirewall
is available for download from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/
TKFirewall was designed to give the administrator full control over Linux'
network filters. The distribution includes a GUI that was designed to provide
easy control over filter settings while using categories to make handling of
filter groups easier. The filter categories allow the administrator to gain an
overview over the overall structure, and to work on only a subset of the
filters at a time without being confused by long filter lists. Of course,
the GUI is build to visualize input, forwarding and output filters at the same
time, so that a packet's path through these fitlers can be followed easily.
The firewall configuration can be saved as either a firewall script or as a
"dump file" that can be loaded to continue working on the configuration. The
firewall script contains any comments that were entered as filter descriptions
in the GUI. Thus, the final result can be used without the GUI. It is also
possible for the administrator to cross-check the filter configuration (with
other tools or manually).
The firewall script makes provisions not to temporarily allow all traffic
through the firewall while the script is running. (Only name services are being
let through).
Another part of the package is the firewall scanner. This scanner is the
prototype of a general-purpose firewall setup program. The basic idea is to
set up rules for the scanner once. Then, after the network configuration
of the firewall machine or the filtered services have changed (such as
IP-addresses together with host-names, ports, interfaces, routes, offered
services...), the scanner is run again and reconfigures the firewall auto-
matically (it provides this information to the GUI, which in turn generates
the firewall script by the push of a button).
As of now, the scanner only recognizes a limited choice of network
configurations. More analysis needs to be done about the requirements for the
scanner and about the configuration rule-set features accordingly. Also, the
scanner will need a GUI on top of that (the whole point of this is *easy*
administration, after all).
I will do more research and implementation here if enough people (you :) ask me
for that.
Please send mail! (If possible, include ideas, bug descriptions, wanted
features, encourangement - anything!)

First GPL Release of onShore TimeSheet
----------------------------------------------
30 May, 1999
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
onShore, Inc., a Chicago and New York based systems integrator and
software developer since 1991, released today a beta version of its
flagship product, onShore TimeSheet, as Free Software under the GNU
General Public License. Available commercially since 1996, onShore
TimeSheet enables business to replace paper-based timesheets, manage
projects and provide sophisticated time reporting, lowering costs and
turn-around time.
onShore TimeSheet is available today as version 2.1 beta 1 at
<URL:http://www.onshore-timesheet.com/>. onShore TimeSheet was
developed for use with Perl, PostgreSQL and Apache, and is certified
for use with Linux and Solaris. Any company can deploy a complete
onShore TimeSheet application server without incurring software
licensing costs of any kind.
onShore TimeSheet is a comprehensive, web-based, multi-user
time-billing and project management tool. It supports approval,
email-enabled workflow facilitation, and provides an export capability
that can be used to integrate with third-party accounting systems.
Any company that provides time-based services, pays employees on an
hourly basis, or needs to track projects more closely will benefit
from using onShore TimeSheet. Graphic design, advertising,
accountants, and law firms are just some examples of businesses which
can immediately benefit from the built-in features of onShore
TimeSheet.
According to the technical manager of the project, Adam Di Carlo,
"We've been selling this software for 3 years now; it is currently
deployed at a number of clients. Yet onShore is essentially a service
and support company, not a software vendor. Losing the revenue from
licensing fees is a minimal loss, compared to the huge sector of
potential users which we weren't reaching when this software was
proprietary. Obviously, we're hoping that this software has wide
appeal, and leads to support contracts or integration work."
onShore offers a number of commercial support options with onShore
TimeSheet, ranging from bundled onShore TimeSheet Linux servers to
discounted support blocks. onShore has been working with Linux in
production and testing environments since 0.99pl13.
If you would like to learn more about onShore's installation, support,
customization, or hardware bundled options, see our web site at
<URL:http://www.onshore-timesheet.com/>, or call an onShore sales
representative at 312-850-5200. For general inquiries about onShore
TimeSheet, contact Suzannah Martin at the above voice number.
onShore TimeSheet is a trademark of onShore, Inc.

Subject: pinfo-0.4.2 - info and manual viewer
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 10:59:38 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Pinfo is a info (and manual) file viewer, which is similar in use to
the lynx html viewer. It is available at
http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~pborys
Here are some changes.
0.4.2 Modified use of readline lib. It doesn't require to use ltermcap
anymore, and does not need to close curses screen... This was
quite difficult task ;)
Added support for resizing screen 'on the fly' (i.e. in x window).
Added support for ncurses mouse (which works in xterm).
0.4.1 Recreated mechanism of opening info file. Now it is possible
to add new compression methods for info by just modyfing two
variables on the top of filehandling_functions.c. Also I've
added support for national info pages, which may be located
in the directory $INFOPATH/$LANG. (ie. for polish info pages
that could be /usr/info/pl_PL/infopage.info)
Added support for cutting off manual headers (--cut-man-headers)
Added some nodeposition informations in status bar.
0.4.0 Support for apropos. Searches finally work properly.
0.3.9 Gnu Readline support. Now you can browse history on regexp
searchs ;). Added sigblock on sigpipe. Now you can safely open
pipes to programs which don't exist.
0.3.8 Added configuration file support. Fixed one bug. Expanded manual
page :)
0.3.7 Added option --manual, and --raw-filename. Added support for
8-bit characters (i.e. national characters for certain charsets).
Modified regexp search on manuals. Bold/italic tokens are recognized
now.
0.3.6 Added possibility to call shell commands from within pinfo.
Modified a bit makefile. Source does not use the 'dangerous' ;)
sprintf anymore. Fixed minor bugs.
0.3.5 Fixed some more sigsegv bugs.
0.3.4 Fixed some stupid bugs in manual code. Added new comments to
source. (since I almost got lost myself ;)
0.3.3 Speedup modifications. I.e. window is not refreshed now when
key buffer is not empty (to avoid scrolling, when the key is
already depressed, and to make it work better on slow terminals).
0.3.2 Added support for the refresh (^L) key.
0.3.1 Added possibility to redefine keys (at compile-time). Modified
man page hypertext recognization (now it recognizes everything of
the form 'something (x) or something (xy)'. Removed bug with
regex.h in manual.c.
0.3.0 Manuals can be read now as well as info files, when info cannot be
found. Manuals can be browsed similar to infos; hyperlinks are
the fields od form 'something (x)' (according to the common format at
SEE ALSO section). Since the change is quite big, I've moved the
version number to 0.3.0.
0.2.4 Added regexp searching -- '/' option and 's' option.
0.2.3 Tiny change -- added some checking for mvaddstr functions, so they
don't drop core if there's no menu/note token.
0.2.2 Added support for old curses (macro definition ___OLD_CURSES___,
enabled in Makefile. That was enough to compile this program
under HP-UX :)
0.2.1 Added support for "index menus", and all other of the format
"* blabla:[optional spaces]node.". Added cache for menu/note
highlight positions. Also code is a bit modified; to be precise
I started to clarify it a bit by adding macros, and other
things, to get as close to short'n'clear procedures, as possible.
0.2.0 The engine for hypertext recognization is reimplemented. Support
for notes and menus of format : node. is added. Also color support is
added. Also added some cache for menuchecking and notechecking
functs.
0.1.5 Fixed bug with not deleting files from /tmp; added $INFOPATH
support0.1.4 Added 'g' key
0.1.3 Added pgdn/pgup/home/end keys
0.1.2 Added support for notes of kind note::
0.1.1 First working engine; menus of kind menu:: are supported
[12.III.1999]0.0.0 I'm angry, because the only docs considering my
problem are in info format, and I just can't work with standard info ;-)

Subject: COMMERCIAL: Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.0 Shipping
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 11:59:14 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Fort Collins, Colorado-31 March 1999
Terra Soft Solutions is now shipping their much anticipated Yellow Dog
Linux Champion Server for Apple Macintosh PPC and G3 computers.
"We have put a great deal of effort into the Champion Server
distribution, providing our customers with the ability to utilize the
best hardware and software available--the incredibly fast Apple RISC
G3s and the stable, secure Linux operating system," stated Kai Staats,
CEO of Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.
Staats continues, "The timing is perfect as Microsoft has, in my
opinion, reached its peak, and now the much more capable Linux
solution is quickly finding its way into the heart of many companies.
The question should no longer be NT or Solaris? but instead Linux on
an Intel chip or Linux on a G3? And that's an easy choice. The Apple
RISC-based G3s have proven to be of the fastest processors on the
planet and Linux the most stable, secure, and cost effective OS
available."
Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. of Loveland, CO has developed Yellow Dog
Linux Champion Server for the Apple Macintosh PPCs and G3s. YDL is
specifically geared toward ISPs and high-end development environments
and offers a very real incentive to replace Intel hardware with Apple
RISC-based computers.
Dan Burcaw, head developer for Terra Soft Solutions, states "The
inclusion of glibc 2.1 brings Champion Server up to par with the
popular Linux distributions for Intel. This will allow for a much more
rapid movement of Linux software from Intel to Mac, providing the
software that users have been waiting for."
"With the availability of rackmount equipment for Apple G3s and with
the provision of install support and ongoing technical support, we
feel we provide a professional, very competitive solution," Staats
concludes.
The Champion Server operates on Apple Macintosh PPC and G3 platforms
and now on the iMacs as well with the download of a recently completed
installer. Support for the Blue & White boxes is on its way, as just
today developers announced the preparation of a limited, yet
functional installer. A complete, fully functional installer for Blue
& Whites should be available soon.
Terra Soft Solutions provides via their website a variety of products
and services, including: CDs, an original install manual, a 3-ring
binder, mouse pads and shirts, a unique zipper portfolio case,
rackmount equipment, dedicated installation support, and enterprise
level technical support.
Terra Soft Solutions is now taking orders online at
order.yellowdoglinux.com and accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover,
