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.

Bugowner

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.

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

Trusted Boot (tboot) is an open source, pre-kernel/VMM module that uses
Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) to perform a measured
and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM.

TOMOYO userland utilities.

Trusted Computing is a set of specifications published by the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG). The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is the
hardware component for Trusted Computing. The tpm-tools package
provides tools for enablement and configuration of the TPM and
associated interfaces. Also look inside the trousers package for more
software for TC.

Bugowner

The trousers package provides a TSS implementation through the help of
a user-space daemon, the tcsd, and a library Trousers aims to be
compliant to the 1.1b and 1.2 TSS specifications as available from the
Trusted Computing website http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/.

The package needs the /dev/tpm device file to be present on your
system. It is a character device file major 10 minor 224, 0600 tss:tss.

udisks-glue is a tool that can associate udisks events to user-defined
actions. In that sense, udisks-glue is almost "glue code"[1], hence the name.

udisks (formely known as DeviceKit-disks) is an abstraction layer on top of
the Linux disks subsystems that, in conjunction with the other DeviceKit
subprojects, aims to be a replacement for the now almost defunct HAL project.

Like most other recent Linux desktop frameworks, udisks exposes its API via
DBus to its clients (often desktop environments). Users wishing to have more
control about what happens when specific disk-related events often have to use
a tool like halevt[2] or ivmon[3], which work on top of HAL. Now that HAL is
no longer being actively developed and most distributions are considering
dropping support for it, those users will have to migrate to a new tool, and
udisks-glue might as well fill that gap.

udisks-glue should eventually offer the most useful features found in the
aforementioned projects. As of now, however, only the most basic functionality
is available (mounting and unmounting removable media). Contributions are
welcome.

Utempter is a utility that allows non-privileged applications such as
terminal emulators to modify the utmp database without having to be
setuid root.

Bugowner

An MS Windows emulator, consisting of both runtime and source
compatibility functions. You can run your MS executables with it and
write your Windows programs under Linux and link against the WINE
libraries.

It is not necessary to have a Windows installation to run WINE.

Refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/wine/README.SuSE. There is more
documentation available in that directory. Read 'man wine' for further
information.

You can invoke wine by entering 'wine program.exe'. Configure it by
running 'winecfg'.

This package contains the prepackaged Win32 Gecko rendering engine for use by Wine.

Bugowner

This package contains the basic X.Org terminal program.

zsync is a implementation of rsync over HTTP. It allows updating of files from
a remote Web server without requiring a full download or a special remote
server application. It uses a metafile, which is created on the server,
to determine which parts of a file the user already has; it then downloads
the remaining parts via HTTP. No special server or Web server module is
needed. It also works with gzip files, and content on the server can be
compressed to further reduce download times.

This is still for testing atm. It already builds against the 12.3 branched off project which is not final.
