nessusd: best name?

Hi,

reworking the GUI of the Nessus Client, I stumbled
across the question how to name nessusd in the GUI.

So far I found "Nessus Daemon", "Nessusd Server", "Nessus Server".

My preference is "Nessus Server" as a quite convenient term.

I would like to harmonize the GUI in this regard, so what do you
think?

Best

I also found "remote host" for nessusd while concurrently
"remote host" often means the target system
(nessus/prefs_dialog/prefs_help.h).

IMHO it makes sense to avoid the too ambigous term "remote
host" and use "Target Host" or "Nessus Server" respectively instead.

Target Network (or just Target) would be even more appropriate.

right. So I will try to avoid the term "remote host" from now on.
