Silk Tree is a tool that propagates /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from a master to a list of hosts via SSH. The sending and receiving ends connect to each other as a non-root user. A read-only sudo program on the receiver’s side makes the final modifications in /etc.
Many checks are made to ensure reliable authorization updates. ACLs are used to enforce a simple security policy. Differences between old and new versions are shown. Two small scripts are included for exporting LDAP users and groups.
Requirements:
· Portable OpenSSH
· Ruby
Chameleon is a free, easy-to-use and highly extensible blogging platform. With Chameleon, you can easily publish a wide range of different types of content, ranging from blog post to recipes, and from podcasts to photos.
Chameleon is built on top of Ruby on Rails.
Chameleon is all about that extensibility. Types are not the only way to personalize your blog, themes, for example, are another. Themes allow you to modify the lay-out of your blog completely to your personal preferences. With a bit of knowledge about HTML and CSS, you can create your own, unique design. If you don’t know HTML or CSS, you can of course always use one of the default themes, or one of those available on this site.
But the most powerful way to extensibility is probably through plugins. Plugins are little add-ons to the main Chameleon application, which allow little tweaks but also major features to be added to Chameleon. Themes, for example, may come with a default plugin, adding some functionality they depend on. Plugins are written in plain Ruby code, so everyone who knows his way around in Ruby can write new plugins. They’re easy to hook into the main application, and their functionality will be immediately viewable. Now, before you get all excited about this, let’s get things straight: not all of this has been implemented yet.
Here are some key features of “Chameleon”:
· A complete admin center to manage your site.
· The ability to write posts of different types.
· Metadata for posts, depending on the post type.
· Different templates for each post type.
· Support for Textile formatting.
· The tagging of posts.
· Built-in search.
· Commenting on blog posts.
· Spam check on comments using Akismet.
· RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds.
· Themes on the front-end, allowing you to modify the design of your blog completely.
Requirements:
· MySQL
· Ruby
INSTALLATION:
Copy the file config/database.example.yml to config/database.yml, and
update the “development” and “production” parts of it to match your database settings (you can enter the same credentials in the two sections). So, this becomes:
development:
adapter: mysql # Change this to the sort of database you’ll be using, for example “mysql” or “postgresql”.
database: < database_name > # Change this to the name of the database Chameleon should use.
username: < username > # Your database username comes here.
password: < password > # Your database password comes here.
host: localhost # Change this to the host name where the database will run. Most of the time, this will be “localhost”.
[...]
production: # Copy the development section to here, to keep the same settings.
adapter: mysql
database: < database_name >
username: < username >
password: < password >
host: localhost
Now, upload the complete directory to your server.
Next, we’ll set up the database. To do this, you need access to the command line. If your host supports SSH, you should normally have access to it, ask them how to do this if you don’t know. Once on the command line, run these commands:
To load the database schema into the database, run:
rake db:schema:load
Then, to set some default settings, a default user and a welcome post, run:
rake db:fixtures:load
Finally, all you need to do is run the application. Again, you may need to
contact your host on how to do this. If you’re running Chameleon locally, you can run “ruby script/server” in the command line to start the server, and if you then surf to http://0.0.0.0:3000 you’ll see you Chameleon installation. By surfing to http://0.0.0.0:3000/admin, you can log in with the default username “admin” and password “admin”, and you’ll get to the admin center. From there on, you’ll find your way easily.

CLASS HIERARCHY
Hash::Case
is a Tie::StdHash
is a Tie::Hash
SYNOPSIS
use Hash::Case::Lower;
tie my(%lchash), ‘Hash::Case::Lower’;
$lchash{StraNGeKeY} = 3;
print keys %lchash; # strangekey
Hash::Case is the base class for various classes which tie special treatment for the casing of keys. Be aware of the differences in implementation: Lower and Upper are tied native hashes: these hashes have no need for hidden fields or other assisting data structured. A case Preserve hash will actually create three hashes.
The following strategies are implemented:
Hash::Case::Lower (native hash)
Keys are always considered lower case. The internals of this module translate any incoming key to lower case before it is used.
Hash::Case::Upper (native hash)
Like the ::Lower, but then all keys are always translated into upper case. This module can be of use for some databases, which do translate everything to capitals as well. To avoid confusion, you may want to have you own internal Perl hash do this as well.
Hash::Case::Preserve
The actual casing is ignored, but not forgotten.
METHODS
tie HASH, TIE, [VALUES,] OPTIONS
Tie the HASH with the TIE package which extends Hash::Case. The OPTIONS differ per implementation: read the manual page for the package you actually use. The VALUES is a reference to an array containing key-value pairs, or a reference to a hash: they fill the initial hash.
Examples:
my %x;
tie %x, ‘Hash::Case::Lower’;
$x{Upper} = 3;
print keys %x; # ‘upper’
my @y = (ABC => 3, DeF => 4);
tie %x, ‘Hash::Case::Lower’, @y;
print keys %x; # ‘abc’ ‘def’
my %z = (ABC => 3, DeF => 4);
tie %x, ‘Hash::Case::Lower’, %z;
addPairs PAIRS
Specify an even length list of alternating key and value to be stored in the hash.
addHashData HASH
Add the data of a hash (passed as reference) to the created tied hash. The existing values in the hash remain, the keys are adapted to the needs of the the casing.
setHash HASH
The functionality differs for native and wrapper hashes. For native hashes, this is the same as first clearing the hash, and then a call to addHashData. Wrapper hashes will use the hash you specify here to store the data, and re-create the mapping hash.
Requirements:
· Perl

beauty256 is a beautiful Vim theme specially designed for xterm with 256 color. It uses natural and friendly colors and converts your terminal Vim to modern-looking IDE.
About Vim:
Vim is a text editor first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer. Vim was created as an extended version of the vi editor, with many additional features designed to be helpful in editing program source code; its full name is Vi IMproved.
While Vim is cross-platform, it is most popular on Unix-like operating systems.
Released under a software license compatible with the GNU General Public License, Vim is free and open source software. The program’s license includes some charityware clauses.
Like vi, Vim’s interface is based not on menus or icons but on commands given in a text user interface; its GUI mode, gVim, adds menus and toolbars for commonly used commands but the full functionality is still expressed through its command line mode.
For many users learning Vim may be difficult and slow initially, but once the basics are understood they progress quickly and editing becomes more efficient. To facilitate this, Vim has a built-in tutorial for beginners. There is also the Vim Users’ Manual that details the basic and more advanced Vim features. This manual can be read from within Vim, or found online.
Vim also has a built-in help facility (using the :help command) that allows users to query and navigate through commands and features.
Requirements:
· Vim
INSTALLATION:
copy the beauty256.vim script to $HOME/.vim/colors folder.
dont forget to add this line to your .vimrc
set t_Co=256
color beauty256
first line sets Vim to use 256 color in terminal.
