IPv6 has a lot more support for autoconfiguration than IPv4. But for this autoconfiguration to work on the hosts of a network, the routers of the local network have to run a program which answers the autoconfiguration requests of the hosts.

On Linux this program is called radvd, which stands for Router ADVertisement Daemon. This daemon listens to router solicitations (RS) and answers with router advertisement (RA). Furthermore unsolicited RAs are also send from time to time.

Cucipop is a fast and robust implementation of the RFC1939 POP3 protocol. It supports both BSD-type and SysV-type mailbox formats, works reliably over NFS.and it includes an option to defeat "leave mail on server" clients. Cucipop can run from inetd or as a standalone daemon.

Apache is the world's most popular HTTP server, being quite possibly the best around in terms of functionality, efficiency, security and speed. It was originally based on code and ideas found in NCSA httpd 1.3 (early 1995).

RAT is an RTP audio conferencing and streaming application that allows users to particpate in point-to-point and multi-point audio
conferences over the Internet. Developing features include multiple sampling rates, mono/stereo, loss concealment, and IPv4/IPv6 support,
and both versions feature encryption and run on a range of platforms.

oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users--they cannot change into them even if the server is totally compromised. It also contains its own directory-change and directory-listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list files).

Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100 terminals, vt100 emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other character-cell display). It will display Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) documents containing links to files on the local system, as well as files on remote systems running http, gopher, ftp, wais, nntp, finger, or cso/ph/qi servers, and services accessible via logins to telnet, tn3270 or rlogin accounts.

lftp is a sophisticated command line based FTP client. It has a multithreaded design allowing you to issue and execute multiple commands simultaneosly or in the background. It also features enhanced mirroring capabilities and will automatically reconnect and continue transfers in the event of a disconnection. Also, if you quit the program while transfers are still in progress, it will switch to nohup mode and finish the transfers in the background. Version 2.0.x also supports the HTTP protocol.

Qpopper is a server that supports POP3 protocol for downloading Internet e-mail from software clients. Qpopper does not include a message transfer agent or SMTP support and normally works with standard UNIX mail transfer agents such as sendmail or smail. This server is fully compliant to RFC1939 and works with all the known POP3 clients. Qpopper also supports Kerberos V4 if enabled. FWTK stands for the FireWall Tool Kit. It is used as a base to create a secure firewall.

InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the
package is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it
as an nntpd merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews
that reads multiple NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate
server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd
have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol (although in normal
use you will never notice); see the manpages. INN separates hosts that
feed you news from those that have users reading news

EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. It was originally built upon the ircII-2.6 client and has maintained faithfulness to remain current up to the 2.8.2 release. EPIC is somewhat larger than the stock client (24%), but that is mostly because of the multitude of new features, the dual ANSI/K&R compliant function headers, and the large amount of re-written code in an attempt to make ircii faster, more efficient, and more powerful.

Oidentd is an ident (rfc1413) daemon that runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris 2.x. Oidentd supports most features of pidentd plus more. Most notably, oidentd allows users to specify the identd response that the server will output when a successful lookup is completed. Oidentd supports IP masqueraded connections on Linux, and is able to forward requests to hosts that masq through the host on which oidentd runs.

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) implements an Internet name server for Unix operating systems. The BIND consists of a server (or `daemon') called `named' and a resolver library. A name server is a network service that enables clients to name resources or objects and share this information with other objects in the network.

Bash is the shell, or command language interpreter, that will appear in the GNU operating system. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful
features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers
functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
