cosign 1.0.0
cosign is a Web single sign on system that allows users to authenticate once per session and access any protected Web resources at the institution. If used, passwords are sent only to a single, central URL. Sessions have both idle and hard timeouts, and users can logout of all protected services by visiting a single URL. The use of public key cryptography ensures that a compromise of a protected Web server has no impact on the security of other participating servers.
Drall 1.11.2.4 (Development)
Drall is a script which allows users to access their directories and files remotely without the need of using insecure FTP and telnet. It enables the user to treat the remote file system as if it was on their local hard disk through a normal Web browser. The interface resembles the well known Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Single or dual-panel views makes it easy to see an overview of the file system and the modular design means you only use the features you need. Drall is written in Perl for easy customization and expansion. DSPAM 2.35
DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns SPAM using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an administratively maintenance-free, self-learning Anti-Spam service. Each email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus of email, has the potential to yield a 99.5% success rate with only 0.03% chance of false positives. eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter 1.0.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/120651/ The eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter (Zope DA) allows you to easily connect your Zope installation to just about any database backend. Unlike Zope's ZODBC Zope DA, the mxODBC Zope DA works on Windows, Linux, and Solaris using the same interface. It implements thread-safe connection pooling and multiple physical connects per logical Zope connection. You can safely run Z SQL Methods in parallel, achieving much better performance than ZODBC Zope DA or similar database adapters under heavy load. This makes it ideal for deployment in clusters and hosting environments where stability and high performance are a priority.
Elm ME+ PL101b (25) (Patch)
Elm 2.4ME+ is based on Elm 2.4. It contains enhanced MIME and character set support. It can read mail from POP or IMAP folders and can pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It also includes modules for TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.

Enterprise Object Broker 1.0 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/120647/ Enterprise Object Broker (EOB) is an application server that transparently distributes Java objects via their interfaces. It makes no distinction between Local and Remote objects. Because of these features, it is not J2EE compliant. The developer builds beans that implement normal Java interfaces and the deployer decides where the beans are in a cluster of servers. Apache's AltRMI is used in place of RMI. It publishes plain interfaces locally and remotely. The interfaces do not have to extend the java.rmi.Remote interface. Methods do not have to throw RemoteException.
