Unix (primarily Solaris) 3rd Party solutions for Applications

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Must Have 3rd Party software for your Unix system (note; some of these
tools are now included as standard with some distributions).  Lots of
these are available at www.sunfreeware.com.  Note: this list duplicates
many tools found below.

Admin tools:
- traceroute
- gated; replacement for routed
- top; ps replacement
- AMD (only if you're on SunOS 4.1.x, where automounter crashes when an
NFS client goes down and is generally slower, otherwise use automountd)
- less; an enhanced "more"

GNU Tools
- gzip/gunzip; standard compression tools
- gcc, gdb, bison, gtar, etc: GNU replacements for standard unix tools

Security
- ssh, openssh: telnet replacement
- lsof; List of Open Files; stat sockets, processes that open particular files
- npasswd; force users to create decent passwords
- sudo; allows wrapping of root-only devices for regular user use.

Additional Shells:
- tcsh, bash

Programming
- perl; www.perl.org
- expect; interactive programming

Miscellaneous: See also the security and monitoring sections.
- emacs/xemacs: for those of you who hate vi
- rcs; Superior Configuration management system to built-in sccs
- pine/elm; email packages
- lynx; non-graphics based html browser
- ghostview, ghostscript: PostScript file viewing

- there's ahost of other packages that are probably good things to have.
There's an EXCELLENT writeup on how to configure a new box that 
includes web addresses for all these; http://fixsolaris.sunhelp.org/
