Hi Yoni. One method, although non-GUI, would be to SSH into the Nessus server and use the command-line Nessus client (man nessus). A GUI method might be to launch X11 on your Mac, then use xterm to 'ssh -X ip.of.nessus.server' (the -X will make it forward X11), then from your shell on the Nessus server, just run 'nessus'. This should launch the GTK GUI Nessus client from the server and use X11 to display it locally on your Mac. Of course, this assumes that the server supports X11 forwarding (/etc/ssh/sshd_config on Debian), that the server has the GTK stuff installed, and that on the server Nessus built the GTK client at compile-time (default if the GTK libraries are found). ~Jay -- .. ..
