Yes, I know :) Thanks!

What do I need this "admin" user for?

Strangely, it does not. And I do have nessus* installed:
[root@teich squid]# rpm -qa|sort|grep -i nessus
nessus-1.1.8-1mdk
nessus-client-1.1.8-1mdk
nessus-plugins-1.1.8-1mdk
Oh, I just noticed something else. I changed to root, did a
nessus-adduser and created a user "butter". Then I created a new system
user and ran nessus. I typed in the username/password I set with
nessus-adduser, and clicked on Login. But before that, I ran "nessusd"
as root (without -D). Apart from the usual error message in /var/log, I
received this output:
/var/log/nessus/users/butter/auth/password: No such file or directory
Hmm, /var/log? Why does it want to create stuff in /var/log? I'd have
expected this in /var/lib/nessus, and, in fact, in /var/lib/nessus,
there IS a users directory. And even further, there IS a
/var/lib/nessus/users/butter/auth/password file!
So, why does nessus look in /var/log/nessus/users?
Somebody please do:
1) urpme $(rpm -qa|grep -i nessus)
2) rm -rfv /var/log/nessus /var/lib/nessus /etc/nessus /usr/lib/nessus
3) urpmi nessus{,-{client,plugins}}
4) nessus-adduser
5) Create a nessus user
6) useradd dummyuser
7) nessusd
8) As dummyuser: nessus
9) Type in the details set in step 5)
10) login
