.
Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home
directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial
values for the user's password, real name and so on.
.
Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or
all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.

algorithms (md5, sha1, rmd160, tiger, haval, etc.) that are used to check
the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with relative
ease. All of the usual file attributes can also be checked for
inconsistencies.

Description-en_CA: cron-like program that doesn't go by time
Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler. It
executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does
not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be
used to control the execution of daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or
anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a
day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that
the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine-
uptime permits.
.
This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian
system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24
hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages are
executed each day.

Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavour" of web
server binary, compiled with a different processing model.
.
The event MPM is designed to allow more requests to be served
simultaneously by passing off some processing work to supporting threads,

.
The prefork MPM provides a non-threaded, pre-forking implementation that
handles requests in a manner similar to Apache 1.3. It is not as fast as
threaded models, but is considered to be more stable. It is appropriate
for sites that need to maintain compatibility with non-thread-safe
libraries, and is the best MPM for isolating each request, so that a
problem with a single request will not affect any other.

This package contains apmd(8), a daemon for logging and acting on APM
events; and apm(1), a client that prints the information in /proc/apm in a

Package: auctex
Description-md5: 37416b65acb2b4602c1a9f8eaed3a2ba
Description-en_CA: An integrated environment for editing TeX and friends documents
AUCTeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for writing
input files for TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt/Texinfo using Emacs.
.
It lets you process your source files by running TeX and related tools
(such as output filters, post processors for generating indices and
bibliographies, and viewers) from inside Emacs. AUCTeX lets you browse
through the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the
reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular error.
This will even work when the document is spread over several files.
.
One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive is preview-
latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing that provides
true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your sourcebuffer, while
letting you retain full control. preview-latex comes with its own manual.
.
AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write it
---you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a
special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting an overview'
of a document.
.
Apart from these special features, AUCTeX provides a large range of handy
Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your
documents fast and painlessly.
.
All features of AUCTeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key
click away!
.
AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new
features for your own needs. It has become recently a GNU project.
AUCTeX is distributed under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'.
.
Currently XEmacs ships with its own AUCTeX, so this package should only be
used with GNU/Emacs. (I.e., you don't need to install this package if
your site uses only XEmacs.)

Package: libnet-smtp-server-perl
Description-md5: e3534428a402c1f6f130c70ac97a5f46
Description-en_CA: A native Perl SMTP Server implementation for Perl
The Net::SMTP::Server module implements an RFC 821 compliant SMTP server,
completely in Perl. It's extremely extensible, so adding in things like
spam filtering, or more advanced routing and handling features can be
easily handled. An additional module, Net::SMTP::Server::Relay has also
been implemented as an example of just one application of this
extensibility. See the pod for more details on that module. This
extension has been tested on both Unix and Win32 platforms.
.
Creating a new server is as trivial as:
.
$server = new Net::SMTP::Server($host, $port);
.
This creates a new SMTP::Server. Both $host and $port are optional, and
default to the current hostname and the standard SMTP port (25). However,
if you run on a multi-homed machine, you may want to explicitly specify
which interface to bind to.
