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'. 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..
