Four US Government agencies are putting together some security benchmark tests for various operating systems. "The benchmark is a program that checks the target operating system for unpatched flaws and system settings that could make PCs vulnerable to intrusions or bugs. While the first such benchmark focuses on Windows 2000 workstations, versions of the program for Windows 2000 and NT servers, Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system, Cisco's IOS router operating system, Linux and HP-UX are in the works."
