It means nessusd is coded to use old-style support for PACKET sockets when calling libpcap; ie, it uses the PF_INET protocol family instead of the special PF_PACKET in calls to socket(). As far as I know, the warning is harmless currently and, short of changes to the nessus source, can not be avoided. George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
