Got the following when installing:
# rpm -ivh /tmp/nessus-1.0.5-1mdk.i586.rpm
/tmp/nessus-{plugins,client}-1.0.5-1mdk.i586.rpm
nessus ##################################################
Starting nessusd: Generating primes: ...................q..pg
Couldn't open the directory called "/usr/lib/nessus/plugins"
Check /etc//nessus/nessusd.conf
[FAILED]
nessus-plugins ##################################################
nessus-client ##################################################
These might be benign errors but they are disconcerting all the same.
I had to stop (to clean up the /var/run files) and start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nessusd to get the server running.
Then when I ran nessus it would not authenticate me:
[Fri Oct 27 11:02:02 2000][1542] Client requested protocol version 101.
[Fri Oct 27 11:02:02 2000][1542] Installing IO thread id tracker.
[Fri Oct 27 11:02:03 2000][1542] bad login attempt from 127.0.0.1
but I have never used nessus before and have not read any docs on it yet
so it could very easily just be me being an idiot. :-)
