Hello All,

I'm running nessusd (Nessus) 2.0.2 for Linux   on RedHat 8 
(C) 1998 - 2003 Renaud Deraison [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm also using Nessus Console for Windows NT/2000 Version 1.4.2-HF1

I used the script nessus-mkcert-client to create the cert file for the
NessusWX client.

Lines 
343: # Client key
344:    openssl genrsa -out $KEYFILE 1024

This version of RedHat has OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001

This version of openssl from what I can see using the genrsa function
provides for private key encryption using des and triple-des. EG:
/usr/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 65536 -out long-key-file.pem


Maybe I'm just silly, but from what I can see there doesn't seem to be
any private key encryption used. If this is the case can someone help me
understand why private key encryption is not being used?   

Thanks,

JC
