Yes... I always use nessus, and its working ok... Nessus is the client and nessusd the server, they both can operate on the same pc. Install nessus, nessus-client and nessus-plugins, then as root (su) create a user, called whatever you want 'admin' for instance. and start the server with: nessusd -D The connect with the client as normal user, and login providing the passfrase you choose before, the first time you run your client it will create a key. sk
