     I think nessus for Solaris8 and Solaris9 (I donīt know for version 7) is
available in pkg format (easy and instant installation) at www.sunfreeware.com,
though you need to previously install additional packages (openssl, glib, gtk
and libgcc).

     There is also the last version of nmap in pkg format.

Among tools that other people suggested, you can install Nessus on that
machine and run tests on target machines.
You'll need nmap for that as well.

Installation *can* be tricky, you can find some info on the following URL
(it's for Solaris 7, but you can find it useful):
