Our group has been using nessus successfully for some time.
We recently started using SUSE as our favored linux distro.
All was well until we started using 9.0 - I can get get 2.0.9 nessus to
complile using installer.sh
but usage results are not consistent. Fell back to 2.0.7 - same results.
Using SUSE 8.0 on a different partition on the same machine, 2.0.9 works
fine
Others in my group are having same experience.
We have enough experience to tweak the various prefs/scanning options in the
past
and get what we expect - but with 9.0 we are stumped.
Examples: Messenger service nasl 11890 finds no vulnerable hosts on a class
C with SUSE 9.0 but 10 with SUSE 8.0.
Sames settings for scan.
Nessus probe for SSH finds ONLY the scanning box itself with
9.0 - finds all the known port 22 listeners with 8.0. ( 5 boxes ).
Nmap itself works consistently across 9.0/8.0.
Is there a known problem with SUSE 9.0 in regard to nessus - I can find no
mention in the archives.
