Security_patch_check useless recommendations

Raynald Boucher — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:37:56 GMT

Hello all,
We run this process every month and keep getting the following recomendation:
"31 Xserver 2191r1 1st man ? ? Run "/sbin/init.d/slsd stop", then set "SLSD_DAEMON=0" in /etc/rc.config.d/slsd."

eventhough we are not running slsd and the config file is as specified in the recomendation.

What can I do to prevent these useless recommendations from appearing?

Thanks

RayB

man security_patch_check

look at the -i option for an ignore file. Or just use the default ignore file $HOME/.spc_ignore

add the bulletin number to the file and you won't see it again,

You should also consider upgrading to Software Assistant as security_patch_check is being deprecated:

Hi Ray:

To add to Duncan's notes, the time for migrating to the new Software Assistant Tool (SWA) which integrates the old Security Patch Check, too, is fast approaching:
