I had one of our students write a package auditing script for RHEL
5.1, something to match the NetBSD pkgsrc security auditing script we
use on all our NetBSD machines.  The RHEL version requires 'yum
install yum-security' and consists of:
yum-audit - checks security status of yum installed packages on RHEL 5.1
            and greater
yum-get-audit-script - to be set up as a root cron job to pull the security
            statuses from yum
yum-cve.ignore - an example CVE ignore file to tell the script with CVE's
            to mark as green
               - its location is specified in the yum-audit script

If others are interested, I'll see about making them available.
