Hey George!

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay, just got back in the office.
 
So, I installed nessus on Debian 2.2 kernel, these packages below, and have searched high and low, no "PREFIX" dir, and a search on the entire machine yields no results for that shell script. 
 
any thoughts what I might also need to install?
thanks!

The command you should be running is "nessus-mkcert-client" -- note the
lack of a space character. It's a shell script that should be installed
in PREFIX/bin.

Did you create a server cert first using nessus-mkcert (in PREFIX/sbin)?
If yes, what does the daemon configuration file have for ssl_version?
And have you restarted the daemon after creating the server cert?

By the way, you need to do this before creating the client cert.

Y ou may want to read README_SSL in the nessus-core source tree.
