[Moderator: This is not even amusing, this is crap. Posturing and
 spindoctoring from NAI in the face of appearing behind the times.
 For those of you not aware, NAI purchased SNI which had it's superior
 Ballista scanning product. Once acquired, NAI dropped the Linux support
 from Ballista and moved to an exclusive Win* based product. Version 2.4
 supported linux, yet 2.5 did not. And this announcement is 'news' why?
 And visiting ftp.nai.com /pub/antivirus/unix/linux reveals previous
 products supporting linux.]

Network Associates adds Linux product

     Network Associates, which has focused almost exclusively on software
for Windows NT, is adding a Linux version of its CyberCop Scanner tool for
probing networks to detect security vulnerabilities. 

     The company said security consultants and companies that test the
security of networks have shown great interest in Linux-based security
tools. For security audits, Network Associates said consultants preferred
Linux over Sun Solaris by a ratio of about 50 to 1. 

     "Network Associates responded to our security professionals' need to
use CyberCop in conjunction with several Linux-based Ernst & Young
proprietary security tools,"  George Kurtz, director of the Ernst & Young
security profiling services, said in a statement. 

     CyberCop Scanner is the first Network Associates' product on the
Linux platform.
