Solaris Local Security Checks

Subject: Solaris Local Security Checks
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 09:42:03 -0500
Hi All,

i am having a few issues with regards to false positives, and false
negatives with the Solaris Local Checks.

Specifically the nessus scan is finding missing patches for patches that are
not even installed, let alone at the wrong revision level.

For instance, it is telling me that Patch # 110938 is missing.  that patch
is not installed on this machine (confirmed with showrev -p) and the patch
is for http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-110938-22-1which
is Sun Management Center
3.0, not installed on this server.

I am also seeing it report things like 112904-08 missing, but this is
obsoleted by an installed patch, 112233-12.

What should I be doing to find out why this is occuring ?  Is there more
detailed logging I can be doing to find out exactly why nessus is missing
these or thinking they are installed ?

Thanks
