But are things like that available for other OSes (I´m thinking > of AIX, HP-UX, CISCO IOS[?] and so on)? For AIX, Bull has a check tool that verifies that PTFs corresponding to security problems have been installed. The tool is called "bull_check", and is available from www-frec.bull.com (click on "download"). By default it checks for Year2000 PTFs, give it the option "security" to check for security things. I have a script to automatically download the missing PTFs from the Bull PTF server, if anybody's interested.
