For AIX, Bull has a check tool that verifies that PTFs corresponding to
security problems have been installed. The tool is called "bull_check",
and is available from www-frec.bull.com (click on "download").
By default it checks for Year2000 PTFs, give it the option "security"
to check for security things.
I have a script to automatically download the missing PTFs from
the Bull PTF server, if anybody's interested.
