These are just checks for configuration | settings that a user might have changed. I understand need to increase | number of checks in a scanning product, but don"t feel like these belong | in CVE. Scanner vendors could argue that these entries are needed to | keep a common language. | Baker> Not sure about whether we should bother to include this type issue or not. It does provide a stepping stone for further actions, but in and of itself it isn"t a specific vulnerability.
