Check the root crontab for a job invoking the system package management tool to verify the integrity of installed packages. If no such job exists, this is a finding. An example using HP's command line tool suite to list/verify installed local machine software bundles is: # swlist -l bundle # Initializing... # Contacting target "abc123"... # # Target: abc123:/ # 10GigEthr-00 B.11.31.0709 PCI-X 10 Gigabit Ethernet;Supptd Then run swverify, at the end of the output look for status of Verification succeeded. # swverify -v 10GigEthr-00
