Debian Edu Main-server packages

The Apache HTTP Server Project's goal is to build a secure, efficient and extensible HTTP server as standards-compliant open source software. The result has long been the number one web server on the Internet.

Installing this package results in a full installation, including the configuration files, init scripts and support scripts.

Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to print to, files to look at and people to talk to.

This package contains several utilities that allow you to interact with the Avahi daemon, including publish, browsing and discovering services.

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND 9) implements an Internet domain name server. BIND 9 is the most widely-used name server software on the Internet, and is supported by the Internet Software Consortium, www.isc.org.

This package provides the server and related configuration files.

This package contains the Dovecot IMAP server.

A metapackage containing dependencies for packages required on networked installations (with the exception of roaming workstation and minimal) in the Debian Edu Blend.

Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. This package contains the exim4 daemon with extended features. In addition to the features already supported by exim4-daemon-light, exim4-daemon-heavy includes LDAP, sqlite, PostgreSQL and MySQL data lookups, SASL and SPA SMTP authentication, embedded Perl interpreter, and the content scanning extension (formerly known as "exiscan-acl") for integration of virus scanners and spamassassin.

The Debian exim4 packages have their own web page, http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4. There is also a Debian-specific FAQ list. Information about the way the Debian packages are configured can be found in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, which additionally contains information about the way the Debian binary packages are built. The very extensive upstream documentation is shipped in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz. To repeat the debconf-driven configuration process in a standard setup, invoke dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. There is a Debian-centered mailing list, pkg-exim4-users@lists.alioth.debian.org. Please ask Debian-specific questions there, and only write to the upstream exim-users mailing list if you are sure that your question is not Debian-specific. You can find the subscription web page on http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exim4-users

Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems). It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer.

This package contains all PPD files which can be generated from the Foomatic database as one small compressed archive. This reduces the disk space consumption compared to the Foomatic XML database vastly and in addition makes listing of all available PPDs and extracting the needed PPD much faster than using the Foomatic XML database.

Provided is access to posix, shadow, samba, proxy, fax, pureftp and kerberos accounts. It is able to manage the postfix/cyrus server combination and can write user adapted sieve scripts.

Because PostScript is just a page description language, there is a need to provide a mechanism for a print spooler to customize the PostScript Job to the actual printer device.

A PPD (PostScript Printer Definitions) specify the device specific PostScript commands needed to utilize printer features (such as printing quality, paper tray, duplex printing).

This package contains PPD (printer definition) files for the printers supported through the HP Linux Printing and Imaging System HPIJS driver.

These PPDs should work well with the matching versions of HPLIP and HPIJS, but may not be the most up-to-date PPDs available for a given printer. See http://www.openprinting.org/ for the latest version of the PPDs (which are not guaranteed to work well).

Icinga 2 is a general-purpose monitoring application to fit the needs of any size of network. Icinga 1.x was a Nagios fork; this new generation has been rewritten from scratch in C++, with multi-threading and cluster support.

Features:

• all standard features of Icinga and Nagios;
• much faster and more scalable than Icinga 1 and Nagios;
• new, more intuitive, template-based configuration format;
• monitoring services on ICMP (ping) or TCP ports (HTTP, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, etc.) by executing checks (see monitoring-plugins*);
• any small script following the Nagios plugin API can be used as a check plugin;
• notifications about alerts for any custom script (with examples);
• native support for Livestatus and Graphite.

This is the metapackage to install all Icinga 2 features.

Icinga Web 2 is a very modular, fast and simple web interface for your Icinga monitoring environment.

The software will give you a web frontend for your monitoring solution, and can run additional modules, extending monitoring data, or even supplying something new to the webinterface.

This package installs the web interface with all needed dependencies.

iPXE is network boot firmware. It supports a variety of network cards, including some wireless cards, and variety of network protocols (traditional DHCP, BOOTP and TFTP and also HTTP, iSCSI, SAN via FCoE and Infiniband). It supports scripting.

It is possible to use iPXE as a PXE ROM in the network card or to chainload it from other boot methods.

This package provides boot code for all supported network cards in one binary and several bootable formats.

This is the server from the Internet Software Consortium's implementation of DHCP.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of bootpd). It gives client machines "leases" for IP addresses and can automatically set their network configuration.

This is the DHCP server with LDAP patches applied to it.

Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services on a network. Kerberos is a trusted third-party service. That means that there is a third party (the Kerberos server) that is trusted by all the entities on the network (users and services, usually called "principals").

This is the MIT reference implementation of Kerberos V5.

This package contains the Kerberos master server (kadmind), which handles account creations and deletions, password changes, and other administrative commands via the Kerberos admin protocol. It also contains the command used by the master KDC to propagate its database to slave KDCs. This package is generally only used on the master KDC for a Kerberos realm.

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.

Munin is a highly flexible and powerful solution used to create graphs of virtually everything imaginable throughout your network, while still maintaining a rattling ease of installation and configuration.

This package contains the grapher/gatherer. You will only need one instance of it in your network. It will periodically poll all the nodes in your network it's aware of for data, which it in turn will use to create graphs and HTML pages, suitable for viewing with your graphical web browser of choice.

It is also able to alert you if any value is outside of a preset boundary, useful if you want to be alerted if a filesystem is about to grow full, for instance. You can do this by making Munin run an arbitrary command when you need to be alert it, or make use of the intrinsic Nagios support.

Munin is written in Perl, and relies heavily on Tobi Oetiker's excellent RRDtool. To see a real example of Munin in action, you can follow a link from http://munin-monitoring.org/ to a live installation.

The NFS kernel server is currently the recommended NFS server for use with Linux, featuring features such as NFSv3 and NFSv4, Kerberos support via GSS, and much more. It is also significantly faster and usually more reliable than the user-space NFS servers (from the unfs3 and nfs-user-server packages). However, it is more difficult to debug than the user-space servers, and has a slightly different feature set.

This package contains the user-space support needed to use the NFS kernel server. Most administrators wishing to set up an NFS server would want to install this package.

This is a dummy transitional package to transition to NTPsec. It can be safely removed.

Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.
