Info at the Nessus home page indicates that you can build the server portion without Gnome/X-Windows, and either use a character-based client, or I presume an external GUI client. However in the FreeBSD html README file for the Nessus port it says the following: "This port requires package(s) "XFree86-3.3.6_4 gettext-0.10.35 glib-1.2.8 gtk-1.2.8 [...] nmap-2.53" to build. This port requires package(s) "lynx-2.8.3.1 nmap-2.53" to run." So not only does it appear to have dependencies on X, but also on versions of other things I don't have. (I just updated nmap to 2.54x, I have lynx-2.8.4d4, and current ports are supposed to use XFree86 v4.x also) Am I going to have any success with this? I do have the option "WITHOUT_X11=yes" in my make.conf file. Thx, Phil -- Philip J.
