I can run the following command:
nikto.pl -host xxxxx

haven't had any luck whatsoever.  My logs simply say that it ran, then
exited successfully, but I never get any output.



It is not interresting wether nikto can be run by the user starting the
scan.

Can root run nikto? As nessusd will fire nikto and so nessusd is the
relevant reference point which is running as root and not as user johndoe.

Hugo. 

Yes, Nikto works perfectly when called directly by root as well.
