Ok, I STILL CANT run a scan from a windows client. I get connection refused - 
make sure ip and port are correct. I have changed the password (see below) for 
the client ID and also tried running the client when logged in as an admin - 
NOTHING.  

Is there any log file that the errors are stored? 

/opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-chpasswd johndoe

I have installed the server AND client on a SuSe 10.3 host.  If I try to start 
the client I get a cannot connect to X server (but the X server is running on 
Display 0)

 /opt/nessus/bin/NessusClient
NessusClient: cannot connect to X server

 X
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0

ps aux | grep `cat /tmp/.X0-lock`
root      3469  3468  0 Mar18 tty7     00:01:17 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 
-br -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7


If I try to connect to the server from a windows client install, I get check 
host IP/port (which are correct).  Is there an error log I can look at?

I tried to find some clues in the client documentation and on your archive, but 
might have overlooked it. 

Sorry for the naivete.
