 	Scan for remote vulnerabilities.  Scanning for local=20
vulnerabilities can obviously only be done locally.

 	Basically you need to have a remote access method before you can=20
do anything remotely.  It might be useful to get a windows version of ssh=
d=20
or cfengine.  Another possibility would be to make the local scanner=20
executable available on the network, and then have each machine=20
individually download it and run it locally.

 	Basically, to check for local vulnerabilities, you need:
1.	A deployment process (hopefully simple)
2.	An execution process

 	This is exactly what cfengine was designed to solve in the Unix=20
world.
