You could 'chown -r user /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins', but that would still not work because the script has to HUP the nessusd process which runs as root. There are compile-time flags to install Nessus as a non-root user, but I believe that is for development only and might break some things in production. ~Jay .. .. Jay Jacobson ..
