Ok, I think someone got bored converting nessus to use /etc for its config 
stuff...

I've created a user/certificate now and put the .pem files in ~/nessus/ for my 
user. I ran nessus once from the console (as my user) to generate a .nessusrc 
file and then added the three settings you mentioned at the beginning of this 
thread.

When I run nessus now, I have to enter a password. If I use something random, 
I get some dialogues about ssl certificates (which is promising) however I 
then get a 'Login failed' message. (Argh!)

How do I set a password for this user, and do I have to actually do this since 
I'm using certificates.

TIA,

Mark.

(P.S. If you haven't guessed by now, I haven't use nessus before; you have no 
idea how helpful you are being :)
