Useful tools for Sun workstations and Solaris includes software, FAQs, and other documents pertaining to Sun workstations and Solaris, including: The Sun hostid/NVRAM FAQ, change-sun-hostid, unstrip for Solaris 2.[45]. I've also included a selection of useful Sun and UNIX related links.
You'll also find my collection of links relating to Ásatrú as well as a list of English translations of the Old Norse Sagas and Eddas
Available as of July 1997: some unsupported notes on changing the system ID on IRIX machines.
The MIND LINK
cryptography archive is a collection of software, papers, and other files
relating the cryptography.
Access to
cryptographic software is limited by Canadian and U.S. government
regulations, but the papers, other documents, and software for large interger
arithmetic are available to all.
I also maintain an archive of versions of the TECO editor at MIND LINK. TECO was a popular text editor on the DEC-10/PDP-11/PDP-8. Follow this link to find source code for old versions of TECO and versions of TECO that can be run under many flavours of UNIX and some other operating systems. The great virtue of TECO is that it is not only a text editor, but also a powerful and cryptic programming language. EMACS is a direct descendant of ITS TECO.
FGMP is source code in C for a very simple public domain object for large integer computation with an interface much like that of GNU MP. It is considerably slower than the GNU library, but it is in the public domain.
If
you use xbiff on a UNIX system to let you know when you have new mail,
you'll want to grab
the mail squirrel pixmaps. After you make the
appropriate modifications to your .Xdefaults file, xbiff
will refer to these pixmaps. When you receive new mail, a squirrel will pop out
of the mailbox with an envelope in hand.
red.c allows one to generate ICMP host redirects from arbitrary source addresses. This is useful for testing whether your network is vunerable to disruption by ICMP redirects and to demonstrate to folks why it is essential to either block these at routers or configure hosts so that ICMP redirects are ignored. It should work on Solaris 2.5 and 4.4BSD based systems.

"Let me give
you a word of the philosophy of reforms. The whole history of human liberty
shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of
struggle ... If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to
favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without
plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want
the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one;
or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical, but it must
be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it
never will." --Frederick Douglass 1849
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

"The challenge of our times is that we will adapt ourselves to a world that ignores soul, draining our natural resources and exhausting our human energies. The question of caring for the soul is not 'What is the solution?' but 'Where do I start to heal the wounds around me and that are in me?' In each of the roles we play-employee, employer, father, wife, volunteer, activist-there are myriad opportunities for service, for caring with attention to the soul. We are transformed not by caring for our own soul in isolation but by entering into a dialogue with something outside ourselves." -- Alan Briskin
