Hello Jean-Luc,
In runlevel 3 X is run by xdm (or kdm), I think this is secure, but I'm
not sure (I don't use it). Take a look at the message of Mark Lutz
<luma@xxxxxxxxxxx>, he could help probably more.
Nessus is a "security scanner", used for detecting (network-) security
holes of a system. See URL http://www.nessus.org/ !
Ciao, Peter
