This occurs when you try to connect to the daemon using the unix-based
commandline client, nessus, right?

This error suggests the server doesn't support SSL for some reason.

I don't use Solaris, but from what I understand it doesn't have a random
number generator, which means you need to use something like EGD.  Any
chance that's starting *after* nessusd rather than before it?
