If I remember correctly, uninstall-nessus gives you the option of removing everything. If you don't opt for that, though, it will leave your configuration files and some other things. It should, though, remove library files regardless. I'm curious... the first time you installed Nessus, did you use a precompiled package? If yes, did you use the package manager to remove it? If you didn't, it might explain why you're having trouble. Otherwise, how did you came to have the directory /etc/nessus when, at least the second time, you compiled by hand and installed using a prefix of /usr/local? > I�ve run the four ./configure, make, make install, seemingly > successfully.

I don't think it matters as long as configure and make can find the things they need (eg, compiler, bison/yacc). > When I try to run ./nessus-mkcert from /usr/local/sbin I get this error: > --------------------------------- > nessusd: error while loading shared libraries: libnessus.so.1: cannot open shared > object file: No such file or directory ... > I�ve checked, and can�t seem to find the file.

If so, does it hold any files, especially those matching "/usr/local/lib/libnessus*", after you've run the installs? George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
