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
-- Zate
