Hi.

Can anyone tell me why the following code breaks on *broken_buf* below?
Note that the script is currently unsigned, though the Nessus server is
configured to ignore sigs at the moment.

Cheers.

James.

    function do_cmd(sock, cmd, timeout) {
        buf                     = "";
        if ( islocalhost() ) {
            argv                = split(cmd, sep:' ');
===>        broken_buf          = pread(cmd:argv[0], argv:argv);
            buf                 = pread(cmd:"uname", argv:argv);
        } else
            buf                 = ssh_cmd(socket:sock, cmd:cmd,
timeout:timeout);
        security_note(data:buf);
        }       # end do_cmd()

    sock = ssh_login_or_reuse_connection();
    do_cmd(sock:sock, cmd:"uname -o", timeout:60);
    ssh_close_connection();
