The MirOS Project

MirOS BSD is a secure operating system from the BSD family for 32-bit i386 and sparc systems. It is based on 4.4BSD-Lite (mostly OpenBSD, some NetBSD®). The MirPorts Framework is a portable ports tree to facilitate the installation of additional software. The project also releases some portable ... [More] software: mksh, a pdksh-based shell; PaxMirabilis, an archiver for various formats; MirMake, a framework for building software; MirNroff, an AT&T nroff based man page (and text document) formatter; MirCksum, a flexible checksumming and hash generation tool; and some more.

MirOS Heartbeat Protocol Client/Server

Reimplementation of the SixXS heartbeat protocol in shell (mksh, actually). Both client and server are provided. This can be used as a client to the SixXS IPv6 Tunnel Service Provider instead of their heartbeat client or AICCU, or to build a tunnel solution by yourself. In addition, it has been successfully used to provide Dynamic DNS.

kwalletcli – shell access for KDE Wallet

Command-Line Interface to the KDE Wallet (currently for KDE 3 and KDE 4 both – separate binaries though). Includes supplementary tools: • CLI for pinentry (Aegypten protocol client) • pinentry-kwallet (Aegypten protocol server, for use with GnuPG 2 gpg-agent) • kwalletaskpass ... [More] (ssh-askpass(1) replacement) This tool can be used to defer password storage for a lot of applications, including Gajim, to the KDE Wallet, if you trust it to store them securely “enough” for you then. Patches for pidgin, etc. to use kwalletcli are in preparation. This work has been sponsored by tarent GmbH. [Less]

Shell-Toolkit

Loose collection of fragments of shell scripts and programmes of random usefulness. May or may not work. Intended not so much for direct usage, but more as collection of examples. Aim for “good” code, to raise the overall quality of shell code on the world, which we believe has suffered from ... [More] too many bad tutorials written by beginners for absolute newbies… [Less]
