Package: nessusd
Severity: normal
Note: Tested with 2.2.8-1 backport on Sarge.
The Debian script to update Sys5 Init scripts is
update-rc.d(8).
It fails for nessusd:
# update-rc.d nessusd defaults
System startup links for /etc/init.d/nessusd already exist.
This error message is because the Debian nessusd package
already installs a symlink for stopping the daemon:
$ ls /etc/rc*/*nessusd*
/etc/rc0.d/K20nessusd /etc/rc6.d/K20nessusd
but none for starting the daemon.
/usr/share/doc/nessusd/README.Debian says:
Nessus has a test for its daemon running, because it is a potential security
problem, so it wouldn't seem wise to automatically start it on boot-up.
An init script for nessusd is provided in the file the.init.d.script,
courtesy of Luca Andreucci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others.
But lacks an explanation how to use the init script.
Isn't it better to not install the stop-script for the runlevels by
default?
