That version suffers from several remotely-exploitable vulnerabilities (see <http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt>). I'd strongly advise you to upgrade it and any applications you have that use it as soon as possible. Do this *before* installing nessus! > But when I run ./configure in nessus-libraries/, I get the warning: > > configure: warning: *** As SSL support is disabled, the communication > between the server and the client will not be ciphered Where are openssl's include files and libraries installed? You probably need to specify the directory using "--with-ssl=<some dir>" when invoking configure. That directory should hold include/openssl/ssl.h and lib/libssl.(a|so). For example, use "--with-ssl=/opt/openssl" if you have /opt/openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h and /opt/openssl/lib/libssl.a.
