Hi all,

I want to ask about the testing environment (usage) of OpenSCAP. Does it will provides the characteristic to test the network components, e.g. the other PCs in the same local area network. 

Previously I was using the Nessus and has written some scripts. Nessus provides the features, that you can test/scan  the other devices defining the domain, or IP range for testing. As I know the OVAL provides number of test cases, for example 
a)Independent: Family test, Environment variable test, etc.
b)Linux:  RPM info test, Inet Listening Servers Test, etc.

Does/Will the OpenSCAP provide the similar features?, to test the other components (say PCs) defining the domain or IP range. As I did not find any OVAL test case for this.
