Michael,

I am a avid Nessus user, mostly on Linux (Gentoo) boxes.  But being a OSX
fanatic, I got Nessus 2.2.6 to build last weekend completely using Darwinport
instead of Fink.  The sources posted here might not be quite current.  I did
have problems connecting the client to the server using certificates.  The
problem was with the utility OpenSSL.  Eric Hall at Darwinport found the problem
and the sources at Darwinport are fixed and work wonderfully.  I notice the
versions ported for Nessus on Fink are very old.  They are calling 2.2.5
"unstable", when 2.2.6 has been out for a month or more
.

Sent mail to the Fink Nessus Maintainer tonight to see about updating and fixing
the package.  Will wait and see.

Good luck

Ron
