The error arises if the script can't find one of the plugins after uncompressing and untarring the distribution file. A separate check makes sure the distribution file was successfully retrieved so that's not your problem. > Maybe I'm missing the utility will uncompress the plugins? Do you have gzip or gzcat installed? If so, are they located where the script expects them to be (eg, 'grep "gzip=" /usr/local/sbin/nessus-update-plugins')? What about tar? Is that installed and in the path? And finally, any chance you ran out of disk space on $TEMPDIR or, if unset, /tmp? George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
