Indeed. nawm (Not A Window Manager) could be quite good for this if you can find it. Written by MIT hackers for some mad project a few years back, probably not dissimilar to this.
You can make the keyboard LEDs do lots of fun things! as Neill suggests a quick look on Freshmeat would probably bring up the correct results. and a
Anyone know a modem traffic one which works in X? That would be quite handy (stop me running gkrellm so much, at least). Especially if it flashed all three together for new email.

erm, I was gonna suggest gkrellm, It's sooooo cool, especially with Aqua gtk theme ;).. It's really not that hard, just read out the stats from /proc and display. I've written several gtk apps which do scrolling graphs and the like, it woudl make a nice project for anybody wanting to learn gtk ;)..

I was running gtk with a steppish theme that was quite nice, but it doesn't seem to work with my new antique gkrellm (hmz, time to apt-get source it, I suppose). I tried ledcontrol for a while, but that was causing large cpu spikes every few seconds, so I think I'll stick with gkrellm for now.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a secure FTP server. By secure I mean the difference between telnet and SSH (so all traffic is encrypted in transmit). I briefly saw references to scp (part of SSH) on a google search. As anyone used this or could comment on alternatives?

I use scp and with ssh-keys it is very useful, the other alternative is to use rsync with the -e ssh option (turns on ssh as the transport method).
With ssh keys it has a private/public key combo so you can authenticate without passwords (very useful for scripting and backing up /etc/ of public webservers etc.) basically all you need is the sshd running on the machine you want to connect to and thats it. If you have used rcp before it is practically the same for scp.
although this is not strictly an ftp server, would it fit your requirements?

I've used scp a little, but only locally.
For example, you just do 'scp username@machinename:images/cat.gif ." and then enter your password for that machinename, and it copies cat.gif to you. Of course you can do it the other way too :)
Not tried it to third party machines so I don't know if you need an account or if it would work like anonymous FTP? Anyone?

Nope, not aware of one...

Yes, I use scp all the time. It's usually available as part of the standard ssh package on linux (debheads do 'apt-get install ssh') and works quite nicely. If you're a windows user, search for putty and grab a copy of pscp.

there is a secure FTP program that comes with openssh.. afaik it just tunnels the ftp protocol over ssh.... Sz
