Congratulations ! Nessus is now installed on this host

. To add a nessusd user use /usr/local/sbin/nessus-adduser
. To start the Nessus daemon (nessusd) use /usr/local/sbin/nessusd -D
. To start the Nessus client (nessus) use /usr/local/bin/nessus
. To uninstall Nessus, use /usr/local/sbin/uninstall-nessus

. A step by step demo of Nessus is available at :
        http://www.nessus.org/demo/

Press ENTER to quit

[root@sedecomp progs]# /usr/local/sbin/nessus-adduser
Generating primes: ...q.....pg
Using /var/tmp as a temporary file holder

Add a new nessusd user
----------------------

Login : admin
Authentication method (cipher/plaintext) [cipher] :
Is "admin" a local user on this machine [y|n]? l

Ok, treating user "admin" as a local user.

User rules
----------
nessusd has a rules system which allows you to restrict the hosts
that admin has the right to test. For instance, you may want
him to be able to scan his own host only.

Please see the nessus-adduser(8) man page for the rules syntax

Enter the rules for this user, and hit ctrl-D once you are done :
(the user can have an empty rules set)


Login             : admin
Auth. method      : cipher, local user connecting from 127.0.0.1

Rules             :


Is that ok ? (y/n) [y] y
Generating the user key for "admin" (please be patient)
Generating primes: ....q..................pg

   To protect your private key just generated, enter your personal
   pass phrase, now.  Keep that pass phrase secret.  And each time
   when you restart nessus, re-enter that pass phrase when you are
   asked, for.  This prevents anybody else from logging in to the
   nessus server using your account.

   The drawback of a pass phrase is that it will prevent you from being
   able to use nessus(1) in a cron job or in a quiet script.
   If you do not want to use a pass phrase, enter a blank one.

   To change or remove the pass phrase, later on read in the manual
   page nessus(1) about the -C option.

New pass phrase:
Repeat         :
Pass phrase:
user added.
[root@sedecomp progs]# /usr/local/sbin/nessusd -D
[root@sedecomp progs]# exit

Note...!!!  UP TO HERE all should be done as 'root'  (su)  
later on just as plain normal user.

exit
[admin@sedecomp admin]$ nessus  (Startrs your nessus client.) Done!
[admin@sedecomp admin]$
