Try running this Perl program through inetd. Your users just have to
telnet to the chosen TCP port.
As the password are transmitted in clear text, it is safer if you run
it through SSL, e.g. with stunnel. In this case, you'll need
telnet+SSL or "openssl s_client" to connect to it. 

As the program needs to access protected files, it cannot be run
directly by the users on the Nessus server unless you change the
permissions on the "auth" diretcories and files.

Note: you may have to change the find_prefix function.
