Well that is what I thought, but then why do they follow up in the red hat 
version and mark every single file and give it a rating of say SEC_CRIT ??
Is that redundant? I guess I can test this theory by finding a file not 
currently listed in the pol file, then over writing it with another and run a 
check and see if it catches it eh? 

Later.... I just did a test of the above theory. BINGO! You are absolutely 
correct. I detected an add sure enough. Do you know why they have all those 
individual files listed with a SEC_CRIT?
