Thanks for all replies!
First off, you need to start the process you're going to use. May want to ssh into the RedHat box and start the Nessus daemon (nessusd -D). You can do a ps -x (or whatever) to ensure the daemon has been started. Then from your front end, you need to connect to the box you want to scan from. In your case, the RedHat box. Login/passwd are needed but remember, you need to be super user in order to use some of the full features (nmap -O). > > _________________________________________________________________ > Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
