AHA -- I should have been a bit more specific - sorry. I did some tests side by side to make sure -- even got it to identify a crashing problem with Oracle Discoverer (funny how a vulnerability program helps find crashing problems...)
Anyway, I had some "newbie" security types running 2.0.7 on RedHat 7.2 (actually AS 2.1, but same versions) and I was running mine on 9.0 and results were roughly the same (new plugins that I had and they had not updated showed some vulnerabilities they did not.) I really did not do anything in the way of tweaking. Now one thing that could be of importance -- I was running 8.2 with Ximian enhancements XD2 to be exact. I upgraded that with a vanilla SuSE 9.0 and of course lost my XD2 :( -- but the rest of the upgrade went along just fine. I run Mandrake 9.2, SuSE 9.0, RedHat Enterprise 3.0 and Gentoo 1.2 on my laptop (with a partition for Windoze even) and do this for testing purposes. I have run the same scans from all and more or less, the results are identical (sometimes I forgot to update plugins). Now, could it have something to do with Ximian updates? Hmm.. Not sure. I guess it is time to do some more testing since I have a strict vanilla SuSE 9.0 desktop handy -- have not tried that one. I will let you know.
