I am trying to setup nessus to scan my server for vulnerabilities. I have done 'emerge nessus' on the server that I would like to scan (only Linux box on the LAN) and also on my Gentoo box. My Gentoo box is connected to my server via a dial-up connection. When I run nessus on my box, I put in the server's IP and the username and password I setup on the server. When I hit the Login button, it just sits there and does nothing. The first time I did this it asked me to verify the certificate for the server. Every other time, it just sits there, but it never connects. Anyone have any ideas?
How long did you wait ? nessus _can_ take a lot of time the first time you start a new version, because it enumerates and downloads new plugins. If you're sure
I was only waiting 2 or 3 minutes. I now realize that it takes ~5 minutes to connect each time (ouch) but the scans go quickly.
