Xdialog-2.3.1-i486-1McD Make dialogs in X - Xdialog 2.3.1

Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for 
the dialog and cdialog programs (BTW Xdialog may also 
be used in place of gdialog). It converts any terminal 
based program into a program with an X-windows interface. 
The dialogs are easier to see and use and the new 
widgets add even more functionality.

to the hosts whose names follow, up to the next protocol name or the
end of the arguments.  The default protocol is udp.

responding to the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the

for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not
report users last known to be logged into that machine.  If a users

file to contain the actual encrypted passwords.  This is presumed to 
increase system security by increasing the difficulty with which 
system crackers obtain encrypted passwords.  It was written by 
Julianne Frances Haugh and the Linux port is maintained by Tomasz
Kloczko.
This package provides 'login', which is needed to log into the system.

`shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing
them for transmission by electronic mail services.  `unshar' helps
unpacking shell archives after reception.  `uuencode' prepares a file
for transmission over an electronic channel which ignores or otherwise
mangles the eight bit (high order bit) of bytes.  `uudecode' does the
converse transformation.  `remsync' allows for remote synchronization
of directory trees using electronic mail.

subdirectories of /etc/rc.d/ are searched for scripts (which are
usually symlinks to the script in /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/init.d/).

been mostly superceded by the use of ssh and sshd.  However, the

x11-skel-7.1-noarch-6 x11-skel (Miscellaneous things required for X)
These are some symlinks needed by X11 after moving some files and
directories to conform with the Linux FHS.  For example, the fonts
are now in the /usr/share/fonts directory, and this package makes
a symlink to there from /usr/lib/X11/fonts (the default location).
An /etc/xdg directory (the default for XDG_CONFIG_DIRS in the
XDG Base Directory Specification) is also contained in this package,
as well as sample xorg.conf files and other scripts.
