My bad, not enough information. I did run nessus-adduser to add "root" in the user database. Your correct, I did mean "nessusd -L" and it should list users existing in the user database. I wanted to delete "root" as a user and recreate him to see I would be able to login successfully. I'm working from a previous message in the list where advice was received for a similar login problem. I'm running RH 8.0, Nessus 1.2.7 with both client and server installed on the same box. When I try to login as "root" I get "Login failed". When I try to list existing users with "nessusd -L" I get "Bind () Failed : Address already in use".

You need to configure the user "root" to use nessus. Did you run nessus-adduser or otherwise add "root" to the nessus user database? See nessusd(8) or nessus-adduser(8) for details. > When I try "nessus -L" I get the bind error. I'm running RH 8.0 and > Nessus 1.2.7. You must have meant "nessusd -L" - the nessus client (ie, nessus) would never try to bind to a port. But regardless, neither the client nor the server support that option, as far as I can know. What are you trying to do here?
