Hi, I administer several machines running SuSE Linux in a large university network and fix security holes according to SuSE security announcements. The problem is that IT people responsible for network security detect possible problems according to SW version numbers. Apache-1.3.20-66 (SuSE 7.3) identifies itself as 1.3.20 which, they think, contains a security hole. For them, an OK version is e.g. 1.3.26. It would be nice if they could detect possible security problems automatically without having a root or user access to these machines. Otherwise we have to resolve each issue individually by e-mail which is slow and takes time. I'm thinking about a tool which could scan (in a secure way) a set of machines and check that the latest security updates are installed. Does it exist? -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
