A dirty hack could handle your broken configuration: the Slackware version can be be extracted from /var/adm/packages/aaa_base-*.*-noarch-* Anyway, such a modification would probably be a bad idea in the general case. Such a test could trigger if, for example, somebody installed Slackware packages on another distro, or if the Slackware was incompletely upgraded, or any other dirty hack^W^W "hand tuning". Basically, this system has been modified and local tests cannot handle such things. I am not sure that a man could do much better than a stupid pile of silicon without spending an unreasonable amount of time and energy. Corollaries: - local tests do not check the SuSE packages that I installed on my Gentoo boxes with rpm --nodeps - Debian systems which often have *some* packages upgraded to TESTING or UNSTABLE cannot be reliably tested either. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
