This is the ASN.1 library used in GNUTLS. More up to date information
can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls and

LILO boots Linux from your hard drive. It can also boot other operating
systems, such as MS-DOS and OS/2, and can even boot DOS from the second
hard drive. The configuration file is /etc/lilo.conf.

The PowerPC variant can be used on new PowerMacs and CHRP machines.

The ix86 variant comes with Memtest86, offering an image that can be
booted to perform a memory test.

This package contains the SCTP base runtime library and command line
tools.

SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a message-oriented,
reliable transport protocol with congestion control, support for
transparent multihoming, and multiple ordered streams of messages.

Volume Manager.

GNU m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor.

In NFSv4, identities of users are conveyed by names rather than user ID
and group ID. Both the NFS server and client code in the kernel need to
translate these to numeric IDs.

This is the first alpha release of the new NVIDIA Texture Tools. The main highlights of
this release are support for all DX10 texture formats, higher speed and improved
compression quality.

In addition to that it also comes with a hardware accelerated compressor that
uses CUDA to compress blocks in parallel on the GPU and runs around 10 times
faster than the CPU counterpart.

You can obtain CUDA from our developer site at:

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda.html

The source code of the Texture Tools is being released under the terms of
the MIT license.

OpenSCAP is a set of open source libraries providing an easier path for integration of the SCAP line of standards.

SCAP is a line of standards managed by NIST with the goal of providing a standard language for the expression of Computer Network Defense related information.

More information about SCAP can be found at nvd.nist.gov.

This package contains a plugin a for OpenSSL which connects it with the
Trusted Platform Module found on newer machines and a create_tpm_key
helper binary to create and extract a TPM key.

This package contains the gpg key that is used to sign official SuSE
rpm packages. It will be installed as a keyring in
/usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/pubring.gpg. Administrators who wish to add their
own keys to verify against should use the following commandline command
to add the key to the keyring as used by RPM:

gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring \ --keyring
/usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/pubring.gpg --import

OPIE stands for One-time Passwords In Everything. One-time passwords
can be used to foil password sniffers because they cannot be reused by
the attacker.

This package provides a PAM module and several utility programs that
let you use one-time passwords for authentication.

This tool allows you to edit Mac partition tables.

These manpages give you the most important information about Chart. There
is also a complete documentation (Documentation.pdf) within the Chart
package. Look at it to get more information. This module is an attempt to
build a general purpose graphing module that is easily modified and
expanded. I borrowed most of the API from Martien Verbruggen's GIFgraph
module. I liked most of GIFgraph, but I thought it was to difficult to
modify, and it was missing a few things that I needed, most notably
legends. So I decided to write a new module from scratch, and I've designed
it from the bottom up to be easy to modify. Like GIFgraph, Chart uses
Lincoln Stein's GD module for all of its graphics primitives calls.

This module adds XPath-style matching to your object trees. This means that
you can find nodes using an XPath-esque query with 'match()' from anywhere
in the tree. Also, the 'xpath()' method returns a unique path to a given
node which can be used as an identifier.

To use this module you must already have an OO implementation of a tree.
The tree must be a true tree - all nodes have a single parent and the tree
must have a single root node. Also, the order of children within a node
must be stable.

*NOTE:* This module is not yet a complete XPath implementation. Over time I
expect the subset of XPath supported to grow. See the SYNTAX documentation
for details on the current level of support.

This package contains specifications for permissions of specific files,
directories, and devices depending on the local security settings. The
local security setting (easy, secure, or paranoid) can be configured in
/etc/sysconfig/security.

This package contains two recovery/ forensic tools:

TestDisk checks and recovers deleted partitions. It understands all
common filesystem formats.

PhotoRec is a file data recovery software designed to recover lost
files including video, documents and archives from hard disks and CD
Rom and lost pictures (Photo Recovery) from digital camera memory.
PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so
it works even if your media's filesystem is severely damaged or
reformatted.

Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was
heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions. It
improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion. Popt can
parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set variables
based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line arguments to
be aliased via configuration files and includes utility functions for
parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using shell-like rules.

Powerpc32 is a simple utility for compiling PowerPC32 packages on
PowerPC64 machines. Powerpc32 creates an environment for the specified
program (shell) and all child processes. In the created environment,
uname -m returns ppc, so you can create 32 bit PowerPC programs.

Bugowner

The prelink program is a utility that modifies shared libraries and
executables in the ELF format so that far less relocations need to be
resolved at run time. This decreases program start-up time.

You can enable prelink support via the YaST sysconfig editor or in
/etc/sysconfig/prelink.

Be aware that prelink modifies all libraries and executables on your
system. Applications which monitor changes in files will no longer
work.

pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable and thus easy to
remember passwords. The also contained makepasswd gives even more
options which are more aimed at security.

This package contains a small configuration file of the rt2860 driver,
currently read by the kernel module. In later versions this will go
away.

socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file,
pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX,
IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a
file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor, a program, or a
combination of two of these.

The spu-tools package contains user space tools for Cell/B.E.
Currently, it contain two tools: - spu-top: a tool like top to
watch the SPU's on a Cell BE System. It shows information about
SPUs and running SPU contexts.

- spu-ps: a tool like ps, which dumps a report on the currently running
SPU contexts.
