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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This package contains the gpg key that is used to sign official SuSE
rpm packages. It will be installed as a keyring in

swfdec is a free flash player. It is usually embedded into a browser
via the swfdec-mozilla package for instance.

Swfdec is a decoder/renderer for Macromedia Flash animations. The
decoding and rendering engine is provided in a library that can be used
by other applications.

This package contains a Mozilla plugin that uses the Swfdec library for
playing SWF files in a browser capable of loading Netscape-Plugins. It
is in an experimental state at the moment, so don't be surprised if it
crashes your browser.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Official released updates for openSUSE 11.4.

AIDE is an intrusion detection system that checks file integrity.

Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft uses to
distribute their software and things like Windows Font Packs.
cabextract can be used to unpack these files.

Camsource grabs images from a video4linux device (webcam or TV card).
It is modular and has several plug-ins for modifying the image before
displaying it via HTTP or FTP upload.
