Actually, most of the time I don't test patches. I am happy with
compilation and local proof of correctness (means: I didn't change how it
works ;)

I get a 403 (Access forbidden). I found it in #106386.
You cannot just use code from GNU inetutils by linking to it. At least, not
yet, because GNU inetutils is not very widespread. We hope to make it so,
but it is not ready for it (yet).
You will have to copy the code from GNU inetutils into nessus. Please check
if this is possible (GPL). If there are license problems, we can either ask
the author to put it in public domain, or you can probably use the
implementation Robert posted to the ssh people (they are very similar
anyway).
Can you work on a new version of the patch?
Thanks,
Marcus
