I've noticed a few scripts that are starting to use the RPM kb. Have these been verified to work on RPM based systems? The thing that tweaked when I looked over the code is the fact that when checking the RPM version number, there seems to be (in at least some cases) no checking what distribution one is on.
RPMs are known to exist on RedHat, Fedora, Mandriva, TurboLinux, SuSE, Trustix (at least). I'm worried that these scripts might be written on the assumption that it is a RedHat system (with the RedHat numbering policy, backporting, etc.) and subsequently start tripping false on other distros. Note that the current gather-package-list.nasl DOES set the RPMs for each of the above distros. Just wondering.
