The Linux Thermal Daemon helps monitor and control temperature on systems running the Linux kernel.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the WLAN driver.

This package provides the wpa_supplicant daemon and the wpa_cli command.

Doas is a minimal replacement for the venerable sudo. It was initially written by Ted Unangst of the OpenBSD project to provide 95% of the features of sudo with a fraction of the codebase.

Inetutils is a collection of common network programs, such as an ftp client and server, a telnet client and server, an rsh client and server, and hostname.

The Neighbor Discovery Protocol Proxy Daemon (ndppd) proxies some IPv6 NDP messages between interfaces to allow IPv6 routing between machines that are in the same network but not on the same local link. It currently only supports Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement messages.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. It's a Python port and continuation of bashtop.

SSHGuard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several firewall backends.

GNU Rot[t]log is a program for managing log files. It is used to automatically rotate out log files when they have reached a given size or according to a given schedule. It can also be used to automatically compress and archive such logs. Rot[t]log will mail reports of its activity to the system administrator.

Fastfetch is a tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a stylized way. Fastfetch displays this information next to a logo of the system distribution, akin to many similar tools.

WakeLan broadcasts a properly formatted UDP packet across the local area network, which causes enabled computers to power on.

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments.

Pam-mount is a PAM module to mount volumes when a user logs in. It can mount all local file systems supported by mount, as well as LUKS volumes encrypted with the user's log-in password.

This package inherits pam-mount but is compiled specifically for use with the greetd log-in manager. It uses a different configuration location and PAM name space from the original.

This allows greetd-pam-mount to auto-(un)mount XDG_RUNTIME_DIR without interfering with any pam-mount configuration.

Shadow provides a number of authentication-related tools, including: login, passwd, su, groupadd, and useradd.

The ACPICA project provides an OS-independent reference implementation of the ACPI specification. ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.

This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI.

Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor for Linux that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even processes have finished during the monitoring interval), daily logging of system and process activity for long-term analysis, highlighting overloaded system resources by using colors, etc. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks (including LVM) and network layers, and for every process (and thread) it shows e.g. the CPU utilization, memory growth, disk utilization, priority, username, state, and exit code.

Shepherd-run is a script which assists in creating one-off shepherd services from the command line. It is meant to partially fill the void left by systemd-run, since GNU Guix uses GNU Shepherd as its system service manager.

Cpulimit limits the CPU usage of a process. It does not change the nice value or other scheduling priority settings, but the real CPU usage, and is able to adapt itself dynamically to the overall system load. Children processes and threads of the specified process may optionally share the same limits.

UwUFetch is a system information tool in the lineage of NeoFetch, PFetch, HyFetch, and the like. It prints ASCII art of your system's logo as well as a summary of system information. UwUFetch's unique contribution is the uwu-ification of various words used in the description. For example, Guix becomes gUwUix.

Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB).

Autojump provides a faster way to navigate your file system, with a "cd command that learns". It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line and allows you to "jump" to frequently used directories by typing only a small pattern.

Tcptrack is a sniffer which displays information about TCP connections it sees on a network interface. This is a fork of Steve Benson’s tcptrack.

Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.

This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.

pam-hooks is a tiny PAM module enabling the execution of hook scripts when a PAM session is opened or closed. The typical use case is the need of doing some per-user set-up when a user logs via a PAM-aware login mechanism and/or the need of doing some per-user clean-up when the user logs out.
