Hello Experts,
            I have installed Nessus on a HP-UX 11.23 IPF Machine.I am able to start the server Nessud,when I start running the client nessus 
in commandline as,
./nessus -q x.x.x.x 1241 ses ses target_x_x_x_x result_alpha_ip
            I debugged the core through GDB,but could not get any idea.I 
have listed down all details,the output of GDB core and my log files.
Please help me.
 

Details:-
target_x_x_x_x file has only one input,ie
cat>target_x_x_x_x
x.x.x.x(ie,localhost)

 here,x.x.x.x  ------>my local host,on which I have installed Nessus.
core get formed at Plugin directory
