There are several.

* cfgen, a config files generator that is fed with config templates and parameters to fill them

* CronBuilder, to pull a repository, run building command, and save the results in another repository

* flowmon, which shows bandwith usage of different streams, each defined by BPF filter (a.k.a. "tcpdump syntax")

* sftponly, a shell for jailing in chroot accounts meant for data transfer only (for scp, sFTP, and rsync)

* xmlrpcd and its spiritual successor HarpCaller, RPC daemons for sysadmins

* logdevourer, log parsing daemon

These are just the public ones, the ones that were generic enough to be open sourced. I have few others that are/were too specific to the environment they were written for.

sftponly is really nice, needs updating and wider distribution (more packages for more distros).

What do you mean by "needs updating"?

And with packages, I disagree. I only use Debian (and have used Red Hat some time ago), so it would be quite troublesome for me to provide package build scripts for anything else. I wouldn't expect any developer to provide packaging for the whole variety of distributions and OSes. But providing a sane build process is enough for anybody to build a package for their OS.
