Hi, running nessus on freebsd 4.7, used -disable-gtk
prefix when I built it because I do not want a gui, I will be using this from a command line only. Everything
seems to work fine (including nmap scans of any type)
except for some reason when I input the command line it is able to grab the
target file with the ip for scanning but it fails
with unable to open /usr/directory/nessus1.out:no
such file or directory I am assuming that if /usr/directory/nessus1.out is the
directory I want my results written to that nessus
should create it. I have chmoded the directory 777, nessus is running as root, the
proper user id and password are in the command line. I have even pointed the
output file to the same directory as nessus without
success. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this or what could be
going on? It is the strangest thing I have ever seen. I can dynamically write
the target files to the same directory without a problem. Even
running nessus from the command line as root results
in the same failure. Here is the command line I use.. #usr/local/bin/nessus -q 127.0.0.1 1241 mynessususer mynessuspassword
/usr/data/nessus/target_1
/usr/data/nessus/nessus_1.out -V -T nbe -c
/urs/data/nessus/nessus.cfg and what I've tried..... I have changed 127.0.0.1 to localhost and to
the machines ip, n luck I have created other nessus users (no rules)
without luck Put in an ip instead of a target file, no
luck Changed output to text and html no luck Removed the defined .cfg file to use the
default, no luck Ran the command from the /usr/local/bin
directory with results to /usr/local/bin/nessus_.out
file, no luck Recompiled after cleanup with prefixes -disable-gtk -disable-crypto so as not to need password, no
luck |
