New Tool Roots Out SCO Code
With legal terms such as liability, indemnification and lawsuit as prominent themes of the LinuxWorld show here, a small software company has addressed the issue with a solution to find offensive code.

Aduva Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., has developed a system known as OnStage that contains a feature known as SCO Check that will "conduct a complete inventory of your system and if SCO [The SCO Group] identifies some illegal code, we can do a check to find the code, identify it and then automate the replacement of that code" with Red Hat Linux or an appropriate fix, said Chris Van Tuin, director of customer service for Aduva.

In addition, Aduva also announced SoundCheck, a snippet of the OnStage technology the company is delivering for free. SoundCheck scans Linux servers and identifies potential problems, such as missing dependencies, security issues and unaccepted bug fixes that could cause application failures or security leaks. It is available for download free of charge at www.aduva.com/soundcheck.
