Nikto is a great tool. For the Nessus server to find, and use, Nikto, it just needs to be in the $PATH of the user that starts the Nessus *server* (probably 'root'). Once you verify Nikto is installed in the $PATH, then HUP/restart your nessusd process. ~Jay -- .. .. Jay Jacobson .. Edgeos, Inc. - 480.961.5996 - http://www.edgeos.com .. ..
