Subject: System Manager in a Box (SMiaB) - new beta version available

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
System Manager in a Box (SMiaB)
More than 30,000 lines of source code and more than 2,000 system checks.
PegaSoft is pleased to announce the beta release of their new Linux
product, System Manager in a Box (SMiaB). Using artificial intelligence
techniques, SMiaB performs more than 2000 system checks and reports not
only which files have problems, but which systems are affected and why.
SMiaB runs on all major flavors of Linux, including Red Hat, S.u.S.E.
and Slackware. The program supports HTML and CGI,
and is completely expandable through simple plug-ins.
SMiaB 1.0, scheduled for release in late summer 1999, will include
business editions.
Your feedback is important to us. We encourage administrators and Linux
developers to submit their own SMiaB plug-ins. They install easily and
can be written in virtually any language you choose.
The beta is available for download from the PegaSoft home page at
http://www.vaxxine.com/pegasoft. More information is available from the
web site or by contacting Bettina Weichert at

Subject: Update of a KDE game Katchit
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 21:25:05 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I have put an update of my game katchit, now in version 0.4, on
http://perso.club-internet.fr/p_george/katchit.html.
You will also find a screenshot there.
To run the game you'll need of course KDE and the same library QwSpriteField
as Kasteroid.
PLEASE : if you take time to try it, give me some feedback at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , thanks !
It can be found at
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/apps/games/katchit-0.4.tgz
ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/apps/games/katchit-0.4.tgz.
ftp://ftp.de.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/apps/games/katchit-0.4.tgz.
Here is an extract of the LSM :
Title: Katchit
Version: 0.4
Description: A KDE game using the QwSpriteField library.
The goal is to reach a penguin without being
caught by ennemies (more or less clever).
The player and the enemies play turn to turn
and there is no time limit : this is a kind of
reflexion / strategy game. The player may get
bonus that gives him special powers.
Requires X with 16 bpps or more (is ugly on a 8 bpps
display).

Subject: pyCA-0.5.1 - tools for setting up a certificate authority
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 21:53:08 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
HI!
I would like to announce a new beta release of my package pyCA, a set of
scripts and CGI-BIN programs written in Python for setting up and
running a certificate authority using OpenSSL.
See
http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/pyca/
for more details.
I would like to ask for feedback of people using this package. Any hints
for improving this package are appreciated. I do not have the
possibility to test this software under other Unix environments than
Linux, OpenLDAP and ApacheSSL.
Changes since 0.4.5:
- - you have to upgrade to Python 1.5.2
- - some bugfixes and code cleaning
- - better documentation
- - some changes to configuration (might be incompatible to 0.4.5!!!)
- - allow defining the request form depending on specific certificate type
- - configuration of preferred certificate format
- - automatic publishing of certificates with informing user by e-mail
Changes since 0.4.4:
- - some minor bugfixes
- - some rudimental documentation
- - cgi-bin/browser-check.py for testing cryptographic features of browsers
- - usage of ca-fix executable to fix CA certs during ca-make.py
- - usage of DER certs possible to speed up downloading
- - abandoned get-crl.py, get-cert.py does this either
Ciao, Michael.
