RE: Solaris local checks - installed patches

That's fine I have credentials. And at the moment, it is telling me
which patches are missing but the client requires the list of installed
patches aswell. 

 

To be honest I don't want to make an ssh script. I could, but I know it
can be done through nessus. I just wondered if any one knew how, or had
some nasl script which would do it. Or does anyone have some nasl code
which ssh'ed in and ran some other command, because I could easily
modify that to run the command I want.

 

Regards

I know that you'd need a login account on the box (I forget if you need
to be root to do that on solaris), and it might be just as easy to make
an ssh script to do it.

can nasl do arbitrary command lines from a local check?

Hi,

 

My client would like the list of patches installed on each solaris box
included in the Scan report. I know that this can be retrieved using the
showrev -p command, and that the list is probably included in the
Knowledge Base. Does anyone know how to get that information from the KB
and include it in the report? Or does anyone have a nasl plugin floating
around which does what is needed?

 

Thanks for your help,
