Kevin,

Thanks for collecting this information.  We are currently looking at
this product space and it's nice to see a list like these.  While I
would have to check my notes for other vendors, I can add that Vernier
Networks is an inline enforcement solution.  They were very set about
that being the only truly effective mechanism of enforcement.

Mark,
      The I2 NetAuth working group has been keeping a list of 
commercial and open source vendors in the NAC space.  Check 
out the Wiki, it may be a good place to start:

Commercial Products

(now up to 39)

I might be asking for the impossible, but here goes...

Does anyone know of or has come across an end point 
security solution 
that covers both Windows and Mac client systems?  By this I mean
- patch checking
- anti virus (I know, macs don't "need" it)
- able to plug in to an LDAP directory for authentication
- be clientless - meaning no client software installed on system

The stuff I've seen thus far have covered only Windows.  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.
