any client on the network that is capable of running the
NVT protocol can connect to these servers.
The
NetWare NVT Monitor
and its command-line equivalent,
dnvt(PADM),
are useful in determining which machines on the
network are connected to a given NVT server.
dnvt

connection or to highlight any potential
