I've got the same problem. Running FreeBSD 4.5, Nessus 1.2.3, and have 16 bpfs compiled in the kernel. Is there anything else I should look at?

It might be a lack of bpf on your side. Create more /dev/bpfN and recompile your kernel with support for more bpfs. FWIW, I'm working on a daemon that should allow Nessus to only use _one_ /dev/bpf and forward the data to the plugins that ask for it. -- Renaud
