Actually, it turns out to be three machines: 1) All are putting it out Drive D 2) Two are FAT32 (one XP and one Win2k), one is NTFS (the other XP) 3) Two are XP professional, one is Win2k workstation 4) all have several (>3 gigabytes) of free space. 5) update is always run from an domain admin account 6) all directories have had permissions reset to clear any possible permissions issues. 7) When I tried to copy it to the FAT 32 drive, the copy died after 20,000 or so scripts (out of a total of 23,000 +/- scripts), but did not die on the NTFS partition, leading me to believe that the file counts may be an issue 8) When I performed the same operation on my XP/NTFS system, update was able to go successfully the first time. The second time I tried to update, I got a message "Empty URL" _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
