What does this error mean?
My first guess would be that the Nikto executable on your system is not
called nikto.pl, but nikto or something like this. The current Nikto
Wrapper does not take this into consideration yet.
As a workaround I would suggest either changing the command name in
nikto.nasl or adding a symlink to your nikto executable called nikto.pl.
Does this solve your issue?
Regards,
Michael
