I have, and it's very possible. In fact, we use an entirely custom client
to talk to Nessusd.

Subject: Telnet to nessusd?
Part of the "nessus-core" docs (1.0.10) is a great NTP whitepaper. This
shows the NTP commands between client/server and an example typical
client/server session (section 4 at the end).
This leads me to believe that I should be able to telnet to the nessus
server on port 1241 and enter commands - basically acting like a manual
client. However, when I telnet to either 1241 or 3001 on a 1.0.10 server, it
connects then disconnects a few seconds later without any output from the
server.
Has anyone else tried this (acting like a client - manually entering
commands)? Is there a trick I'm missing?
