RE: Pen-Testing Windows from Solaris

["Dieter Sarrazyn" <dsr () ascure com>]

Hi,

My experience with installing nessus (and nmap) on solaris is that
you'll have to compile almost everything from the source tarballs
instead of installing the packages (from sunfreeware).

I installed successfully nessus on Solaris 8.

Greetz,
Dieter
