Hello,
I was curious if anyone has been sucessfully been able to run nessus via
xinetd on RH Linux 9? So far, I've been unsuccessful. Nessus client
complains:
nessus : Remote host is not using the good version of the Nessus
communication protocol (1.2) or is tcpwrapped
If I run nessusd as standalone, it works fine. I've tried a few things,
such as disabling tcpwrappers, adding nessusd: ALL to hosts.allow, etc.
None seem to have any affect. While tcpwrappers would be nice to have, my
primary reason for using nessus through xinetd, is to help free up system
resources. Since, I'm using the inprotect web interface and only scanning
my systems every other week or so, I see know reason to having nessus
running all the time, consuming resources.
BTW, I've tried this both with the 2.0.8a rpm's and the tarball. Same
thing on both.
xinetd config:
service nessus
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/nessusd
bind = 127.0.0.1
flags = NOLIBWRAP
}
Perhaps I'm missing something?
