One thing you might want to do is subscribe to the Bugtraq mailing list. That way you'll get all the latest security holes as they are found; which means if you are using a newer distro release, this list has real value. Since otherwise you may be scanning old security problems that have already been dealt with. http://online.securityfocus.com/archive Bugtraq is a general purpose swiss-army knife list which contains traffic of all sorts; not just Linux stuff. If you would rather not see a security mailing list dominated by M$ traffic (rofl/large snickers), then I suggest the Focus-Linux list, (at the link above) which concentrates solely on Linux security problems.
