I'm able to successfully configure, make, and make install for nessus-libraries, libnasl, nessus-core, and nessus-plugins. I make the cert, add a user and launch nessusd all without error. I'm using NessusWX to connect to the server and that connect without error. Scans of 'localhost' work without error and return results for the server, however when I attempt to scan any other hosts the scan ends like the host doesn't exist. In nessusd.dump the following error appears: 'can't find PPA for /dev/lan0'
I've been scouring the net and believe the error is related to the libpcap version that nessus uses. From what I can tell from CVS release 1.3.4 on, went back to using libpcap .4 for some reason. I believe, according to http://www.tcpdump.org/libpcap-changes.txt, that the .6 release of libpcap will correctly get the PPA for an interface. Is my assessment correct? Is there any way to compile Nessus with .6 (or newer) libpcap (libpcap-nessus)? Is there a quick and dirty way to force the libpcap-nessus to use the dlpi0 interface instead of lan0? Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to Nessus and obviously still learning! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
