compilation does not imply that the program will work properly."

Again, supported and works are two different things.

Nessus does properly not work on AIX. I've spent some time on it (AIX 4.x if I recall correctly). If I recall correctly, packet forgery was not working properly and neither were the .nes plugins.


The fact that it does not work on AIX has been stated ad nauseam. Just because you get it to compile and even produce _some_ results do not imply that it works *properly*, end of story.
