Hi,
This morning I have upgraded my Nessus installation on Debian GNU/Linux woody 2.4.20-1-686 with the usual "apt-get update && apt-get install nessus".
Did you upgrade from the sid version? There is no woody update for Nessus (I'm not aware of any backports, although I'm going to provide some soon)
Afterwards I tried to run a test scan on the hosts in my network. As like in [1] my Nessus client produces the some fork errors in /var/log/nessus/ - The launch of all the plugins is not possible: [Wed Dec 8 16:20:44 2004][467] 'nikto_wrapper.nes' depends on 'libwhisker_settings.nasl' which could not be found
I don't know if that's the Debian build or your own system, but this Nessus installation is broken. In Nessus 2.2, nikto.nes exits
_right away_ as it has been replaced by 'nikto.nasl'.
This is probably a broken installatin (maybe there are leftovers from previous plugin versions), I can confirm that the nessus 2.2.0 packages in Debian do not contain nikto.nes at all:
$ find /var/lib/nessus/plugins -name "*nikto*" /var/lib/nessus/plugins/nikto.nasl /var/lib/nessus/plugins/nikto_wrapper.nes
Marc, maybe you can try reinstalling the nessus-plugins package and making sure that there are no leftovers from running nessus-update-plugins (you get asked a question on installation of nessus-plugins if you want to remove those on upgrades, make sure you said yes or 'dpkg-reconfigure' it before upgrading).
