>Description:
Manpage for audit-packages gives this syntax to ignore a vulnerability or a
package (or set of packages):

  -i [vulnid:vulnid|pkgpat:pattern]

which leads one to write something like:

  /usr/pkg/sbin/audit-packages -i vulnid:1721 -i vulnid:1722

... which doesn't work (vulnerabilities 1721 and 1722 are still
reported).  The syntax that *does* work as expected is:

  /usr/pkg/sbin/audit-packages -i 1721 -i 1722

>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Fix the manpage and/or add some code to the actual script to also
accept the form shown in the manpage.  For audit-packages,v 1.26
2005/11/21, the change would be needed at line 115, where after
the case for pkgpat:*), you might add a very similar case for
vulnid:*).
