Thanks for the follow-ups to my question. Out of curiousity I did an init 6 on the box and scanned all tcp ports with nmap. The only ports open were 22/tcp and 2507/tcp. If port 1047/tcp pops up again I'll use the information in the follow-ups.
I recompiled Nessus to use 2507/tcp. I got a kick out of the service assigned to 2507/tcp --> spock. Spock is a high-end molecular graphics package for displaying protein and nucleic acid structures. -- George George Stone wrote: > I just installed Nessus 1.2.5 on a Linux box.
