-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are looking for commercial pay (lots of $$$$$$) ware you could try ISS I have had great success with it in large networks (100's of servers and clients) though I have never used it on an AIX machine so YMMV.
I tried cybercop in our lab along with rapid 7 and cisco's security scanner and they all stunk (no offense to the respective vendors I just found that they didn't have enough checks, too many false positives and were not updated frequently enough). You could,perhaps, contact Eeye (I Know Marc M sometimes post to the list) and ask him if Retina can handle this for you. I Have used Retina before and find it to be a quality product though I have never used it in a big network (at least not as big as you are talking about)so again YMMV Again these are all pay products but you did not specify if you needed freeware or if you minded paying.
