Dependencies
------------
Sussen currently depends on:

	- GNOME/Gtk+ v2.2 libraries
	- libgda/libgnomedb v0.90.0
	- libgnet v2.0.3
	- libglade v2.0.1
	- libxslt v1.0.31


Known Bugs
----------
- There is no SSL support in Sussen.  You currently must the following
  into your nessusd.conf to use it with Nessus:

	ssl_version = none

  We will implement SSL support again as soon as it's available in
  GNet.  There are SSL patches available for GNet at the time of 
  this writing and we are waiting for them to be committed and released.

- If you were using a previous version of sussen you should delete
  ~user/.sussen and re-generate your config.  Not doing this will lead to
  crashes and other strange behaviour.

- On some systems, pages in the Druids may appear blank
- It is not possible to edit/save plugin/scanner preferences in policy manager
- At times report generation can fail due to non-xml-escape'd characters
- You can only scan one host at a time

Hacking
-------

Development is being done under Gentoo Linux with GNOME v2.2.2
and Anjuta IDE v1.1.97 (www.anjuta.org).
