After this post I am going to bear down and read the license. The thing that gets me is that the previous versions before it have always been 'freely distributable'<sp not sure>. This is starting to smell like the same thing that happened with Xfree. I could be wrong. If anyone has nessus installed on their system and ssh also you will pick up on the possibility of an insecure ssh. Again I could e wrong and jumping in the wrong direction but it kinda rattled my cage. > > > Sorry for the cross psot but theis came to my attention from running > > some tests on my own machines. > > Your problem, not ours, eh? :-) > NP..
