FreeBSD Portaudit is a software vulnerability auditing software for Free BSD. The ports-mgmt/portaudit port polls a database, updated and maintained by the FreeBSD Security Team and ports developers, for known security issues.
How to use Portaudit
To begin using Portaudit, one must install it from the Ports Collection:
# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portaudit && make install clean
During the install process, the configuration files for periodic(8) will be updated, permitting Portaudit output in the daily security runs. Ensure the daily security run emails, which are sent to root's email account, are being read. No more configuration will be required here.
