Debian Edu Common packages

The arping utility sends ARP and/or ICMP requests to the specified host and displays the replies. The host may be specified by its hostname, its IP address, or its MAC address.

GNU bc es un lenguaje algebraico interactivo con precisión arbitraria que sigue el borrador del estándar POSIX 1003.2, con varias extensiones que incluyen nombres de variable multicarácter, una sentencia «else» y expresiones booleanas completas. GNU bc no requiere del programa GNU dc por separado.

The SMB/CIFS protocol provides support for cross-platform file sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.

This package provides utilities for managing mounts of CIFS network file systems.

This package will install a handler for command_not_found that looks up programs not currently installed but available from the repositories.

convmv can convert a single filename, a directory tree or all files on a filesystem to a different encoding. It only converts the encoding of filenames, not files contents. A special feature of convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks: the encoding of the symlink's target will be converted if the symlink itself is being converted.

It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8 which are already partially UTF-8 encoded.

Keywords: rename, move

Este paquete contiene algunas pequeñas herramientas para desarrolladores que utilicen debconf.

Installs cfengine config files to be used by the machines set up as part of the Debian Edu (Skolelinux) network. Debian Edu is a Debian Pure Blend.

The English version of the manual for the Bookworm and Bullseye based releases of the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is included in this package.

Debian Edu is a Debian project to make the best distribution for educational purposes. Skolelinux is the name of the Debian Pure Blend which is produced by the Debian Edu project.

The English version of the Audacity, Rosegarden and ITIL manuals are included in this package. Though outdated, still useful in parts.

Debian Edu is a Debian project to make the best distribution for educational purposes. Skolelinux is the name of the Debian Pure Blend which is produced by the Debian Edu project.

This package provides default answers for packages using debconf, and configures services to work out of the box after an installation.

This is part of the Debian Edu project.

deborphan encuentra paquetes «huérfanos» en el sistema. Determina qué paquetes no tienen a otros que dependan de su instalación, y le muestra una lista de estos paquetes. Su mayor utilidad es buscar bibliotecas, pero se puede usar con paquetes de todas las secciones.

Esta pequeña herramienta le permite a un administrador del sistema ejecutar una petición DHCP para ver si el servidor DHCP todavía está ejecutándose.

Dmidecode reporta información acerca del hardware del sistema como se describe en el BIOS del sistema según el estándar SMBIOS/DMI.

Esta información incluye típicamente el fabricante del sistema, modelo, número de serie, versión del BIOS, etiqueta de propiedad, así como muchos otros detalles de diferente nivel de interés y confiabilidad dependiendo del fabricante. Estos usualmente incluyen el estado de uso de los zócalos de la CPU, las ranuras de expansión (AGP, PCI, ISA), las ranuras de módulos de memoria y la lista de puertos de la entrada-salida (por ejemplo serie, paralelo, USB).

Tenga en cuenta que los datos DMI han demostrado ser muy poco fiables como para confiar ciegamente. Dmidecode no analiza el hardware, sólo informa de lo que el BIOS dijo.

WOL (Wake-on-LAN) is a standard that allows you to turn on a computer over an Ethernet connection. Computers with WOL-enabled network interface cards can be woken from sleep mode, or powered up from standby via a BIOS feature.

One feature that separates etherwake from other implementations is that it also supports WOL passwords.

ethtool se puede utilizar para consultar y cambiar parámetros como la velocidad, autonegociación y la descarga de la suma de verificación en muchos dispositivos de red, especialmente dispositivos Ethernet.

finger muestra información sobre los usuarios del sistema.

fping is a ping like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. fping differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.

gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages.

The package is also scanned via lintian before the install and its possible to inspect the control and data members of the packages.

This package contains the graphical user interface.

gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages.

It can also resolve build-depends of local debian/control files.

This package contains the libraries and command-line utility.

Htop is an ncursed-based process viewer similar to top, but it allows one to scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and their full command lines.

Tasks related to processes (killing, renicing) can be done without entering their PIDs.

hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux.

In Debian Edu (Skolelinux) hwinfo has shown better results than discover when detecting mouse, keyboard and monitor.

hwinfo collects information about the hardware installed on a system. Among others, libhd contains information about cdrom, zip, floppy, disks and partitions, network card, graphics card, monitor, camera, mouse, sound, pppoe, isdn, modem, printer, scanner, bios, cpu, usb, memory and smp.

This package does not include the binaries hwscan, hwscand and hwscanqueue. If you think one or more of these should be included in the package, please contact the maintainer at hwinfo@packages.debian.org.

iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Handy for answering the question "Why is my Internet link so slow?".

iotop does for I/O usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel and displays a table of current I/O usage by processes on the system. It is handy for answering the question "Why is the disk churning so much?".

iotop can only run under a Linux 2.6.20 or later kernel built with the CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS build config options on.

iproute2 es una colección de utilidades para la conexión de red y el control de tráfico.

Estas herramientas se comunican con el núcleo de Linux mediante la interfaz «(rt)netlink», proporcionando características avanzadas no disponibles mediante las herramientas de red tradicionales como «ifconfig» y «route».

La orden arping actúa como la orden de ping estándar, excepto que hace ping a una máquina por su dirección ARP en lugar de por su dirección IP. Se usa normalmente para localizar una máquina si se conoce su dirección hardware pero no su dirección IP.

Este paquete proporciona «less», un paginador de archivos (es decir, una utilidad para la visualización de texto una pantalla completa cada vez, eficiente en cuanto a memoria). Less tiene muchas más características que el paginador básico «more». Como parte del proyecto GNU, es considerado ampliamente como el paginador estándar en los sistemas derivados de UNIX.

También proporciona «lessecho», una herramienta sencilla para asegurar que los argumentos con espacios están correctamente entrecomillados, «lesskey», una herramienta para modificar los enlaces de teclas estándares (al estilo de vi), y «lesspipe», un filtro para entradas de tipos específicos como archivos .doc o .txt.gz.

This package contains a plugin for the Name Service Switch, providing host name resolution for the locally configured system hostname as returned by gethostname(2). It returns all locally configured public IP addresses or -- if none are configured, the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (which is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the local host).

A lot of software relies on that the local host name is resolvable. This package provides an alternative to the fragile and error-prone manual editing of /etc/hosts.

Installing this package automatically adds myhostname to /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Many programs use $TMPDIR for storing temporary files. Not all of them are good at securing the permissions of those files. libpam-tmpdir sets $TMPDIR and $TMP for PAM sessions and sets the permissions quite tight. This helps system security by having an extra layer of security, making such symlink attacks and other /tmp based attacks harder or impossible

libwww-perl (también conocido como LWP) es una colección de módulos de Perl que proporcionan una interfaz de programación (API) sencilla y consistente para la «World Wide Web». El principal objetivo de la biblioteca es proporcionar clases y funciones que le permitan escribir clientes de WWW. También contiene módulos para un uso más general, así como una implementación sencilla de un servidor compatible con HTTP/1.1.

A small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 systems, on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work) and AMD64.

Information can be output in plain text, HTML or XML.

Usa la información en sysfs (núcleos 2.6.0 o superiores de Linux) para listar todos los dispositivos (o sistemas) scsi que están actualmente ligados a su sistema. Las opciones se pueden usar para controlar la cantidad y la forma de la información proporcionada para cada dispositivo.

GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP, SSH servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files.

Memtest86+ provides a more thorough memory check than that provided by BIOS memory tests. Can be loaded and run either directly by a PC BIOS (legacy or UEFI) or via an intermediate bootloader.

This tester runs independently of any OS - it is run at computer boot-up, so that it can test all of your memory. You may want to look at `memtester', which allows one to test your memory within Linux, but this one won't be able to test your whole RAM.

It can output a list of bad RAM regions usable by the BadRAM kernel patch, so that you can still use your old RAM with one or two bad bits.

Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from Unix without mounting them. It supports Win'95 style long file names, OS/2 Xdf disks, ZIP/JAZ disks and 2m disks (store up to 1992kB on a high density 3 1/2 disk).

Also included in this package are commands to eject and manipulate the write/password protection control of Zip disks.

mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.

As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence of ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.

mtr-tiny is compiled without support for X and conserves disk space.

Ncftp allows a user to transfer files to and from a remote network site, and offers additional features that are not found in the standard interface, ftp. This version has Readline support enabled.

Nmap es una herramienta para la exploración de la red y la auditoría de seguridad. Permite realizar escaneados con ping (determinando que máquinas están activas), muchas técnicas de escaneado de puertos, detección de versiones (determinando los protocolos de los servicios y las versiones de las aplicaciones que están escuchando en los puertos), e identificación mediante TCP/IP (identificando el sistema operativo de la máquina o el dispositivo). Nmap también ofrece una especificación flexible del objetivo y el puerto, escaneados ocultos/con señuelo, escaneados de las RPC de Sun, y mucho más. Se puede usar en la mayoría de las plataformas UNIX y Windows tanto en el modo consola como en el entorno gráfico de usuario. También se puede usar en muchos de los dispositivos móviles más famosos, incluyendo el Zaurus de Sharp y la iPAQ.

nullidentd is a small, fast and secure identd daemon. It returns a static string for every query.

The inetd server is a network daemon program that specializes in managing incoming network connections. Its configuration file tells it what program needs to be run when an incoming connection is received. Any service port may be configured for either of the tcp or udp protocols.

This is a port of the OpenBSD daemon with some debian-specific features. This package supports IPv6, built-in libwrap access control, binding to specific addresses, UNIX domain sockets and socket buffers tuning.

Este paquete contiene varias utilidades para la inspección y configuración de los dispositivos conectados al bus PCI.

plocate is a locate(1) based on posting lists, giving much faster searches on a much smaller index. It is a drop-in replacement for mlocate in nearly all aspects, and is fast on SSDs and non-SSDs alike.

This package provides three small programs that gather system information from diverse files under /proc and /sys and print it to the screen:

• lsdev - information from /proc about installed hardware;
• procinfo - system monitoring statistics from /proc and /sys;
• socklist - a summary of open network sockets from /proc/net.

Puede utilizarse para crear servidores de correo, listas de correo, ordenar el correo entrante en distintos ficheros / directorios (muy útil cuando está suscrito a una o más listas de correo o para priorizar su correo), preprocesamiento del correo, lanzar cualquier programa cuando llega un correo (por ejemplo, para generar distintos sonidos en su estación de trabajo cuando llegan distintos tipos de correo) * para reenviar automáticamente de forma selectiva correo a otro sitio.

Este paquete contiene varias herramientas que utilizan el sistema de archivos proc:

• fuser: identifica a los procesos que están usando un archivo o conexión.
• killall: mata los procesos por su nombre (p. ej.: killall -HUP nombre)
• peekfd: muestra los datos que viajan por un descriptor de archivo.
• pstree: muestra los procesos en ejecución en forma de árbol.
• prtstat: muestra el contenido de /proc//stat

Resolvconf is a framework for keeping up to date the system's information about name servers. It sets itself up as the intermediary between programs that supply this information (such as ifup and ifdown, DHCP clients, the PPP daemon and local name servers) and programs that use this information (such as DNS caches and resolver libraries).

This package may require some manual configuration. Please read the README file for detailed instructions.

rsync es una herramienta de copia de archivos rápida y versátil que puede copiar localmente y desde/hacia un puesto remoto. Ofrece muchas opciones para controlar su comportamiento, y su protocolo de actualización remota puede minimizar el tráfico de red para que la transferencia de actualizaciones entre equipos sea rápida y eficiente.

Se usa mucho para copias de seguridad y réplicas y como una orden de copia mejorada para uso diario.

Este paquete proporciona tanto la herramienta de línea de órdenes rsync como la funcionalidad opcional de demonio.

Rsyslog es una implementación multi-hilo de syslogd (una utilidad de sistema que proporciona soporte para el registro de mensajes)​​, con características que incluyen:

• registro del sistema fiable a través de TCP, SSL/TLS y RELP
• búfer de disco bajo demanda
• alerta por correo electrónico

• escritura en bases de datos MySQL o PostgreSQL (a través de complementos de salida separados)

• listas de remitentes permitidos

• filtrado en cualquier parte del mensaje del registro del sistema
• compresión del mensaje en el cable
• control de ajuste fino del formato de salida
• conmutación por error a destinos de copia de seguridad
• retransmisión syslog con cifrado de clase empresarial

Es el syslogd predeterminado en los sistemas Debian.

GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer that runs several separate "screens" on a single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. Screen sessions can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.

Screen also supports a whole slew of other features, including configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable logging, and multi-user support.

El paquete smartmontools contiene dos programas de utilidad (smartctl y smartd) para controlar y monitorizar sistemas de almacenamiento usando el «Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System» (S.M.A.R.T.), en español «sistema tecnológico de informe, análisis y automonitorización», que llevan incluidos la mayoría de los discos duros ATA y SCSI modernos. Es un derivado del paquete smartsuite, y permite usar discos ATA/ATAPI-5. Debería funcionar en cualquier sistema Linux moderno.

strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace of all the system calls made by another process/program. The program to be traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can use it on binaries for which you don't have source.

System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel interface. A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions.

The sysfs is a virtual file system found in Linux kernels 2.5+ that provides a tree of system devices. This package provides the program 'systool' to query it, which can be used to list devices by bus, class, and topology.

In addition this package ships a configuration file /etc/sysfs.conf which allows one to conveniently set sysfs attributes at system bootup (via an init script).

This program allows you to dump the traffic on a network. tcpdump is able to examine IPv4, ICMPv4, IPv6, ICMPv6, UDP, TCP, SNMP, AFS BGP, RIP, PIM, DVMRP, IGMP, SMB, OSPF, NFS and many other packet types.

It can be used to print out the headers of packets on a network interface, filter packets that match a certain expression. You can use this tool to track down network problems, to detect attacks or to monitor network activities.

The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO packets with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination has been reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time exceeded messages along the way, it is able to determine the path packets are taking to reach the destination.

The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern Internet, many of the packets that traceroute(8) sends out end up being filtered, making it impossible to completely trace the path to the destination. However, in many cases, these firewalls will permit inbound TCP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections on. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able to bypass the most common firewall filters.

Vim es una versión casi compatible del editor Vi de UNIX.

Se han añadido algunas nuevas características: deshacer multinivel, resaltado de sintaxis, historial de línea de órdenes, ayuda en línea, completado de nombres de archivos, operaciones con bloques, plegado, permite utilizar Unicode, etc.

Este paquete contiene una versión de vim compilada con un conjunto estándar de características. Este paquete no proporciona una interfaz gráfica de Vim. Véanse los otros paquetes vim-* si necesita algo más (o menos).

Apticron is a simple script which sends daily emails about pending package updates such as security updates, properly handling packages on hold both by dselect and aptitude.

cpqarrayd is a userspace monitoring daemon for HP (Compaq) SmartArray hardware RAID controllers. These controllers usually come built-in to ProLiant, or as a PCI card for ProLiant or Integrity systems. This daemon reports status changes in the disk array to syslog and, optionally, to a snmp trap host.

The default is to only log to the syslog. You can specify traphosts with the -t parameter at the commandline. Multiple traphosts are allowed.

This tool works with the SmartArray drivers found in Linux kernels (cciss and ida drivers).

Contains a tool that is run by a cron job at regular intervals. By default it just updates the package list and downloads new packages without installing. You can instruct it to run anything that you can do with apt-get (or aptitude).

It can optionally send mail to the system administrator on errors, log to syslog or a separate log file.

Observe that this tool may be a security risk, so you should not set it to do more than necessary. Automatic upgrade of all packages is NOT recommended unless you are in full control of the package repository.

These programs are designed to integrate with standard shell tools, extending them to operate on the Debian packaging system.

Package name in brackets denote (non-essential) dependencies of the scripts. Packages names with an asterisk ("*") denote optional dependencies, all other are hard dependencies.

Hard dependencies of single tools are listed in the Recommends field of the package and optional dependencies of single tools in the Suggests field -- as common with many "collection" style Debian packages.

debsecan es una herramienta para generar una lista de vulnerabilidades que afectan a instalaciones concretas de Debian. debsecan se ejecuta en el sistema que se va a analizar, y descarga de Internet información sobre vulnerabilidades. Puede enviar correos electrónicos a las partes interesadas cuando se descubran nuevas vulnerabilidades o cuando las actualizaciones de seguridad estén disponibles.

Suite of programs to manage some I2O-compliant RAID controllers; in particular some Adaptec hardware; to be very specific those using the dpt_i2o kernel module or CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O driver, or (for more recent kernels) the i2o_block and i2o_config modules, or CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK and CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG drivers. One can create/delete a RAID array, add/remove a hot spare drive to/from an array, activate/silence the alarm, and query array/disk status.

GNU Emacs es el editor de texto autodocumentado extensible. Este es un metapaquete que siempre dependerá de la última versión recomendada de Emacs (actualmente emacs-gtk).
