The GNU Accounting utilities for process and login accounting

GNU Accounting Utilities is a set of utilities which reports and summarizes data about user connect times and process execution statistics.

"Login accounting" provides summaries of system resource usage based on connect time, and "process accounting" provides summaries based on the commands executed on the system.

The 'last' command is provided by the sysvinit package and not included here.

Access control list utilities

This package contains the getfacl and setfacl utilities needed for manipulating access control lists.

Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and configuration status.

add and remove users and groups

This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating and removing users.

- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to existing groups; - 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given group.

Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually. Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial values for the user's password, real name and so on.

Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.

A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment - static binary

This package contains the statically linked binary for "normal" systems.

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment - Common files

AIDE is an intrusion detection system that detects changes to files on the local system. It creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest algorithms (md5, sha1, rmd160, tiger, haval, etc.) that are used to check the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with relative ease. All of the usual file attributes can also be checked for inconsistencies.

This package contains base and configuration files that are needed to run the actual binaries.

You will almost certainly want to tweak the configuration file in /etc/aide/aide.conf or drop your own config snippets into /etc/aide/aide.conf.d.
