On: Vulnerability scanner for Linux and FreeBSD

Spacewalk is monolithic. It takes over packaging and licensing and various other roles.

I appreciate tools like this because they are single purpose and can be easily be retrofitted to old systems.

Also, yum security plugin does not work on centos because security errata are not published in repo. So you have to hack it even with spacewalk.

This tool definitely meets a need in the EL ecosystem.
