have you run the programs like nessus-config, nessus-mkcert, nessus-adduser?

Are you using fedora like your profile says? If you are using fedora core 3 there are some rpms you can install. http://atrpms.net/dist/fc3/nessus/

why when i first installed it it worked fine???? and now it wont connect?

Do this as root on the command line:

ps aux | grep -i nessusd

Is it already running? When I installed nessus it added a startup script to start the daemon that I had to disable later.

I ran an experiment where I started it using the startup script. After that I tried to run nessusd and got the same results as you. Otherwise it works fine.

Code:
[root@fedora nessus]# /etc/init.d/nessusd start
Starting nessusd:                                          [  OK  ]
[root@fedora nessus]# nessusd
All plugins loaded
bind() failed : Address already in use
[root@fedora nessus]# ps aux|grep nessus
root      4635  0.0  1.1  7172 4532 ?        Ss  22:16  0:00 nessusd: waiting for incoming connections
root      4683  0.0  0.1  3644  652 pts/0    R+  22:21  0:00 grep nessus
[root@fedora nessus]#
If your client is still not connecting you should try to run it as whatever you ran it as the first time when it worked (root or a regular user)

ok
 
ok the first time i ran it with the same user im running now.... now look i did the command you said

Quote:
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep -i nessusd
root 700 0.0 1.3 11044 6796 pts/3 S+ Mar18 0:33 nessusd: waiting for incoming connections
root 30580 0.0 0.1 4116 688 pts/5 R+ 16:54 0:00 grep -i nessusd
and this is what it wrote me... now... how do i stop it? i mean you said it run on startup.. so how do i stop it from happining?

einstien 03-19-2005 10:45 AM
never

Glad you got it working. If you would like to set it where it does not start up when FC3 starts up, go to the redhat menu > System Settings > Server Settings > Services. See if nessus is listed. You can uncheck it if it is in there. If it isn't there check in /etc/rc.d/rc.local .
