Here's my setup before I get to the problem... Freebsd 4.4 Nessus 1.1.11 built from the BSD ports tree NessusWX 1.3.0
I am having a problem with the nessus server not restarting after I run the nessus-update-plugins. This leads to the new plugins I downloaded not showing up for use. Here is how to reproduce: 1. Nuke a couple of plugins from the /lib/nessus/plugins directory, I chose all of the zope plugins for ease of use. 2. Start Nessus server and connect with client (occurs in Freebsd client and Win client)Notice amount of plugins loaded. 3. Now exit the client and run the nessus-update-plugins -v. I saw that the missing zope plugins were replaced and are in /lib/nessus/plugins. Now if I read the man page correctly, the nessus daemon should have been restarted. 4. Restart client, notice previous plugin number is the same and still missing the plugins you previously deleted. A PS will show the original nessus process unchanged. If you restart the server by hand then all plugins show up in the client. Is anyone else having problems like this? Other than that Nessus is chugging along great. Any ideas? Thanks.
