you know, it would be nice to see the tool better tuned, but, since in
this case it is for admins on the inside to check patches on their new
commisioned boxen, I can live with the tool as is, many of these boxen
have all sorts of toys and whizbang stuff installed.
For the systems that serve the perimiters, we just parse down the list a
tad <grin>
Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
