Indeed. I have been running Nessus client and server on OS X for quite some time. It works wonderfully (particularly the latest Nessus versions). Just get the Nessus 2.0.10a source tarballs and compile away - it works right out of the box. Just two gotchas that I have seen: * You will need the Apple Developer Tools (now called XCode in Panther) installed to be able to compile Nessus. * If you want the GTK GUI client, you will need to have an X11 server installed (it is included in Panther: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app) and you will need to install the GTK libraries. DarwinPorts works very well for installing GTK. There is also some documentation about this on the Nessus web site: http://www.nessus.org/documentation.html ~Jay -- .. .. Jay Jacobson ..
