Mac OS X identification

I have several Mac OS X boxes running versions between 10.4.4 and
10.4.7. All of these boxes trigger macosx_10_4_10.nasl but not
macosx_10_4_9.nasl.

macosx_10_4_9.nasl says:
os = get_kb_item("Host/MacOSX/Version");
if ( ! os ) os = get_kb_item("mDNS/os");
if ( ! os ) exit(0);

macosx_10_4_10.nasl says:
os = get_kb_item("Host/MacOSX/Version");
if ( ! os ) os = get_kb_item("Host/OS");
if ( ! os ) exit(0);

The output from plugin 11936 for some these reports that the OS
identification was done using NTP. For others it says SinFP.

Why does one plugin use mDNS and one use Host/OS? (Just curious.)

Can macosx_10_4_9.nasl be updated to use the Host/OS? Or whatever change
would be most appropriate? We'd sure like to pick up those, too, as we'd
like to politely inform users they're running 10.4.9 and more forcefully
inform them they're running 10.4.8 and older.

Thanks.

Cheryl
