I de-installed old nessus 1.x, and installed version 2.0.6
# /usr/local/sbin/nessusd -d
This is Nessus 2.0.6 for Linux 2.4.18-5custom
compiled with gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
Current setup :
Experimental session-saving : enabled
Experimental KB saving : enabled
Thread manager : fork
nasl : 2.0.6
libnessus : 2.0.6
SSL support : enabled
SSL is used for client / server communication
Running as euid : 0
I ran a safe scan, from the GUI, and got a report that only
produced some security notes and listed a few open ports. So,
some logging should have occured in
/usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages file. It was empty.
The /usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf shows...
logfile = /usr//var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages
I checked /var/log/messages and nothing shows up for nessus.
I can't find any other place where it could be depositing
its messages. I had a much larger report on the same targeted
system under nessus 1.x.
However, there is a Jun 16 2003 messages.1 file which says...
my_server_name kernel: nessusd uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
I think this is a separate issue, and was around the time
I did install on June 13. Didn't do anything for at least
a week. Hasn't shown up since.
Thanks for any help,
Bryan
