Jasen,

I submit that there are few items in the OVAL repository because very few people have spent any time writing them. I further submit one of the goals of the SCAP-on-Apple project is to greatly expand the number of definitions. I also would like to state (again) that just because OSX is built around BSD doesn't mean you can immediately use Linux processes to check for anything. I won't even comment on how Windows is tested because there's no similarity between these two OSes. I know OVAL/Mitre people like to use unix of some kind or another and I don't want to alienate them but OSX has its own way of defining and finding things and this should be used instead of trying to shoehorn OSX into an existing method.
