Cheers George,
I don't know if it's the fact that I have just reformatted my box and put
the latest Nessus server on there but I swear to you that the command line
with switch -a, is how I have started it in the past. Yes I have 2 nic's on
the server but neither of them have the 192.168.0.2 address now or at
anytime in the past.
I have written my own client that is on my dev box with the afore mentioned
IP address, and previously until I ran the -a command and switch I could not
get even NessusWX to connect.
I have now just run it in standard Nessusd -D and have connected no problems
to it from both my client and NessusWX.
As a side note, the client used to download 151 server preferences and now
only downloads 137. I am wondering if this has to do with the switches from
the client to the server.
Thanks very much for all your help George. This matter is resolved and now I
have an even better understanding of the switches.
Congrats on the book!, It has been a great read so far, filling in quite a
few gaps. I hope I can somehow help in the future.
Kind regards,
Brennon Williams

No, it's the address on the nessusd machine that clients will specify
should connect to; ie, it's the address of the nessus server.
I have both a root user and an additional user..
But is root used to start nessusd?
