| gpppwrap | 1.1 | GPL | A graphical user interface arround the ppp-on/off scripts | Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have different modem pools for e.g 14.4, 28.8, 56k etc... modems. gpppwrap is a graphical user interface to conveniently select a phone number and dial into your ISP. It may also be used if you switch frequently between different ISPs. gpppwrap is only a wrapper around the ppp-on/ppp-off scripts and gives you therefore still the power and flexibility of these scripts. The gpppwrap package contians ppp-on/ppp-off perl scripts which are Set-UID root to give ordinary users the possibility to setup a ppp connection to the selected phone number. gpppwrap is based on the gtk GUI libraries. This package contains also a cgi-script called pppcontrol. You can place it on your local webserver and use it instead of gpppwrap to switch on/off the ppp connection. This is especially useful if you have windows clients in the local network. This RPM includes dnrd (domain name relay domain) which is a simple "proxy" name server. It is meant to be used for home networks that can connect to the internet using one of several ISP's. |

Other Mason features include a graphical site previewing utility, an HTML/data caching model, and the ability to walk through requests with the Perl debugger. |
| ifplugd | 0.21b | GPL | Detect and perform actions when an ethernet cable is (un)plugged. | ifplugd is a Linux daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled.

| kmyfirewall | 0.9.6 | GPL | An IPTables based firewall configuration tool for the KDE. | KMyFirewall attempts to make it easier to setup IPTables based firewalls on Linux systems. It will be the right tool if you like to have a so called "Personal Firewall" running on your Linux box, but don't have the time and/or the interest to spend hours in front of the IPTables manual just to setup a Firewall that keeps the "bad" people out. There is also the possibility to save entire rule sets, so you only have to configure your rule set one time and then you can use it on several computers giving each of them a similar configuration (p.e. school networks, office, university etc.). For a complete list of the features have a look at the Features section Programs can't do any magic so you still will have to know what your firewall should do to setup your rule set. KMyFirewall just tries to help you as much as possible, but you decide what it will do. |

Features * Set specific MAC address of a network interface * Set the MAC randomly * Set a MAC of another vendor * Set another MAC of the same vendor * Set a MAC of the same kind (eg: wireless card) * Display a vendor MAC list (today, 6200 items) to choose from Possible usages * You're in a DHCP network with some kind of IP-based restriction * You've a cluster that boot with BOOTP and you want to have a * clean set of MACs * Debug MAC based routes |
| mailcap | 2.0.4 | Public Domain | Associates helper applications with particular file types. | The mailcap file is used by the metamail program. Metamail reads the mailcap file to determine how it should display non-text or multimedia material.

| perl-Net-IPv4Addr | 0.10 | GPL or Artistic | Perl modules to manipulates Ipv4 addresses | Net::IPv4Addr provides methods for parsing IPv4 addresses both in traditional address/netmask format and in the new CIDR format. There are also methods for calculating the network and broadcast address and also to see check if a given address is in a specific network. |
| pump | 0.8.19 | MIT | A Bootp and DHCP client for automatic IP configuration. | DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and BOOTP (Boot Protocol) are protocols which allow individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from network servers. The overall purpose of DHCP and BOOTP is to make it easier to administer a large network. Pump is a combined BOOTP and DHCP client daemon, which allows your machine to retrieve configuration information from a server. You should install this package if you are on a network which uses BOOTP or DHCP. |
| rsipclient | 0.20 | GPL | A Python client to contact rsipd server. | Python client version to install on rsipd client machines. The slpd from http://www.openslp.org is highly recommended as it will allow easier installation of the client software, but it is not required. |
| shapecfg | 2.2.13 | GPL | A configuration tool for setting traffic bandwidth parameters. | The Shapecfg program configures and adjusts traffic shaper bandwidth limiters. Traffic shaping means setting parameters to which traffic should conform - setting the standards for bandwidth consumption.

Whenever an association succeeds, ifplugd detects it and runs further configuration commands for it. |
| whatmask | 1.2 | GPL | Convert between different netmask types and display network information. | Whatmask is a small C program that will help you with network settings. It can analyze CIDR, netmask, netmask (hex), and wildcard bit notations to give useful information about the network block in question. |
| wlanfe | 1.0.1 | GPL | Wireless lan configuration tool | WlanFe is a GTK+ front end for the Linux WLAN-NG tools. This allows you to control a wireless networkig card. |
| wvdial | 1.54.0 | LGPL | A heuristic autodialer for PPP connections. | WvDial automatically locates and configures modems and can log into almost any ISP's server without special configuration. You need to input the username, password, and phone number, and then WvDial will negotiate the PPP connection using any mechanism needed. Install wvdial if you need a utility to configure your modem and set up a PPP connection. |
| yp-tools | 2.8 | GPL | NIS (or YP) client programs. | The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system which provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can enable users to login on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). This package's NIS implementation is based on FreeBSD's YP and is a special port for glibc 2.x and libc versions 5.4.21 and later. This package only provides the NIS client programs. In order to use the clients, you'll need to already have an NIS server running on your network. An NIS server is provided in the ypserv package. Install the yp-tools package if you need NIS client programs for machines on your network. You will also need to install the ypbind package on every machine running NIS client programs. If you need an NIS server, you'll need to install the ypserv package on one machine on the network. |
| zcip | 4 | MIT | Ad-hoc link-local IP autoconfiguration | This is an implementation of the ad-hoc link-local IP autoconfiguration algorithm described in the IETF Draft "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 link-local addresses". |
