I have recently managed to compile and am attempting to run nessus 1.2.7
(yes, I know) on HPUX 11.00. Unfortunately, when I try to run it against an
adjacent machine on our local lab network, in text mode, this is what I get
in the messages file:

So it seems like they can't connect to each other. Yet I can ping from each
machine to each other.
My nessusd -d is:
This is Nessus 1.2.7 for HP-UX B.11.00
compiled with cc: INCLUDIR is INCLUDIR=/usr/include
Current setup :
Experimental session-saving : enabled
Experimental KB saving : enabled
Thread manager : fork
nasl : 1.2.7
libnessus : 1.2.7
SSL support : disabled
Client - Server communication is in CLEAR TEXT!
Running as euid : 0
Amusingly enough, I can successfully run a full scan from the nessusd server
on itself; ie, as long as it doesn't have to traverse the network it seems
okay.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
