Yes. See below. > > (removing the checkpointNG.nasl did not solve the problem :-( ) Well. You shouldn't have used the nessus installer. If you followed the procedure I described (which was not exactly right) you should have had Debian packages. Do the following: - Add this line to your sources.list: deb-src http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./ - Upgarde your package listing: # apt-get update - If you did not have nessus installed already: # apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl - If you did: # apt-get upgrade or # apt-get upgrade nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl Check that 2.0.0-2 packages have been installed: $ dpkg -l "nessus*" You might want to either use update-nessusrc or remove/move the ~/.nessusrc file from the user running nessus if you used a previous Nessus version already. Run nessusd (nessusd -D) and test with a run to see what happens. Place special attention to what gets printed in /var/lib/nessus.dump and /var/log/nessus/nessusd.messages. I think I have not missed any steps. If you still get into problems (which you shouldn't, or, at least, I haven't) try removing first all nessus related stuff: # dpkg --remove nessusd # dpkg --purge nessus-plugins <might ask you if you want to remove all the plugins you downloaded, say yes> # dpkg --remove nessus-libraries libnasl and then reinstall with: # apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl Best regards, hope that helps Javi PS: Be careful, though, the upgrade will also upgrade to libpcap0.7. Reanud recommends using the libpcap sources in the nessus source code.
