        Slightly off topic, but I've been hearing on and off about
automated apps that search c source code for "gross violations" of a
security nature (improper buffer checking comes to mind here) in the so

        Is there such a thing, and would it be something that SuSE would
provide for all the folk who don't necessarily use RPMs for everything?
