Please run the following commands to generate a certificate
request directly and verify it.

  openssl genrsa -out /tmp/key.pem 1024
  openssl req -new -key /tmp/key.pem -out /tmp/req.pem
  openssl req -verify -text -in /tmp/req.pem

The first generates a private key (w/o a password); the
second generates a request using that key (enter information
when prompted); and the third verifies the request. After
you do this, you can delete /tmp/key.pem and /tmp/req.pem.

If you get the same error quoted above, the problem lies
with OpenSSL, not Nessus. And if so, I'd recommend
contacting the package maintainer (Sunfreeware.com???) as
that will alert them to the problem and hopefully provide a
solution that maintains compatability with whatever other
packages / applications that you have on that system.
