Coverity Prevent SQS performs static source code analysis. It detects critical problems such as system crashes, memory leaks, memory corruption, unpredictable behaviors, concurrency defects, and security vulnerabilities.

Open Source projects get free access to the scan service, see their FAQ for information on how to apply.

The list of open source projects currently using Coverty can be found at scan.coverity.com.

I have uploaded my sipXecs 3.8 beta Debian packages. More information is available from our Open Source projects site at open.calivia.com/projects/debian.

The binary and source package repository is at scm.calivia.com/pub/sipx/debian/dists/etch/. Instructions on how to add the repository, including the PGP key used to sign the packages, are also available from the site above.

New ebuilds for sipXecs 3.8RC1 are available from my sipXecs Gentoo Ebuild overlay.

The ebuilds are also available from the sipx layman overlay.

Ever had the need to document something complex where a simple text file would not fit the bill but a server-based Wiki would be overkill? Look no further, there is TiddlyWiki.

There's not much more to say about TiddlyWiki than the blurb on the website:

It's written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript to run on any modern browser without needing any server side logic. It allows anyone to create personal self-contained hypertext documents that can be posted to a web server, sent by email or kept on a USB thumb drive to make a Wiki-on-a-Stick.

The OpenLDAP project I am currently working on requires mandatory password strength checking in addition to password policy definitions. OpenLDAP supports the password policy specification out of the box. Password strength checking, however, requires writing a custom module as no such module is currently included.

Note that the OpenLDAP password policy implementation is based on an RFC draft.

I have written an OpenLDAP module that checks passwords for a minimum length of 6 characters and the presence of at least three out of four of lower, upper, digit and punctuation characters. Additionally, the module runs the password through cracklib (if cracklib has been linked in).
