Hi... this is not my day:
I tried the python script and i got the following lines:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "./update-nessus", line 187, in ?
tn.read_until("User : ", 10)
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/telnetlib.py", line 224, in read_until
return self.read_very_lazy()
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/telnetlib.py", line 300, in read_very_lazy
raise EOFError, 'telnet connection closed'
EOFError: telnet connection closed
Alternatively I tried to telnet the nessusd server myself and sent "<
NTP/1.2 >" but the connection closed inmediately.
Finally i tried
nessus -pq localhost 1241 <validuser> <validpasswd>
and it says "nessus: invalid option -- p"
should i try the CVS version? Im running nessus 1.1.12
Thanks
Cristobal
