Robert,
Thanks for your concise explanation on how to use the Nessus CLI client. One related question though... how do you reset the password for a nessus user? Where can I look to see a list of current Nessus users? I am root on the box.
I feel a little silly with this question. I think the Nessus installation asked me to specify a username and password for the nessus daemon when I installed but I can't remember what I specified. I am running nessus 2.2.4.
Chris

If you want to run the X client, just do: DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 Export DISPLAY Nessus ------------------------------- If you are running the CLI client: Once nessus is installed on your system, and you have create a Nessus user/password account, create a file with the target hosts -> targets.txt This file could simply contain one IP address: 192.168.0.1 Then run the command from the system with nessus installed: nessus -Vx -c ./nessusrc -q localhost 1241 user pass ./targets.txt ./results.txt The output of the scan will be stored inside the ./results.txt file, in this case in text output. The nessusrc file will not exist before the first scan, but will be created with default values, which you can then further adjust. This works whether you have GTK installed or not. BTW, to build the X client, you will need to install the GTK development kits. Having a graphics desktop functioning is not enough and the development kits are not installed by default.
