Strangely, it does not. And I do have nessus* installed: [root@teich squid]# rpm -qa|sort|grep -i nessus nessus-1.1.8-1mdk nessus-client-1.1.8-1mdk nessus-plugins-1.1.8-1mdk Oh, I just noticed something else. I changed to root, did a nessus-adduser and created a user "butter". Then I created a new system user and ran nessus. I typed in the username/password I set with nessus-adduser, and clicked on Login. But before that, I ran "nessusd" as root (without -D). Apart from the usual error message in /var/log, I received this output: /var/log/nessus/users/butter/auth/password: No such file or directory Hmm, /var/log? Why does it want to create stuff in /var/log? I'd have expected this in /var/lib/nessus, and, in fact, in /var/lib/nessus, there IS a users directory. And even further, there IS a /var/lib/nessus/users/butter/auth/password file! So, why does nessus look in /var/log/nessus/users? Somebody please do: 1) urpme $(rpm -qa|grep -i nessus) 2) rm -rfv /var/log/nessus /var/lib/nessus /etc/nessus /usr/lib/nessus 3) urpmi nessus{,-{client,plugins}} 4) nessus-adduser 5) Create a nessus user 6) useradd dummyuser 7) nessusd 8) As dummyuser: nessus 9) Type in the details set in step 5) 10) login -- Alexander Skwar -- How to quote: http://learn.to/quote (german) http://quote.6x.to (en) Homepage: http://www.iso-top.de | Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 1 day 13 hours 47 minutes
