The rules file should be located under the auth directory; one should have been created by nessus-adduser, although it might be empty. Further, nessusd will create one if it does not exist when the user logs in. So, does the file really not exist? If it does, what does it contain? Also, rules you specify in the client can only be used to further restrict rules from the rules file. You might use this feature to specify a broader target range but restrict scans from hitting particularly sensitive targets. If you try to gain more rights via the client, nessusd will write a warning to its log about that; eg, "user chucka : attempted to gain more rights by adding accept 192.168.2.1/32". By the way, I'm confused by your use of terms like "localhost" and "hostnames" in your descriptions; that is, I'm not clear whether you're specifying those exactly or using them to obscure the names / addresses you are using. It would be helpful therefore if you would restate the error you're encountering with this in mind. George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
