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.
