Hi there --
The nessus program, version 2.2.4, on our computer does not remain on when
activated either via startup script or manual intervention. During manual
activation, using the command /usr/local/sbin/nessusd -D, the program appears to
load the plugins without difficulty. However, when the ps -ef |grep nessus
command is run, there is no instance of the application listed on-screen.
I have webmin on the server and I tried running a scheduled cron job manually to
see if any error messages would be generated. The output of the job was the
following:
nessus : Could not open a connection to 127.0.0.1
While I was at the server console, I started the GUI program and was confronted
with the error message:
Could not open a connection to the localhost.
I have done a soft as well as hard boot of the server without any change to the
situation. I have also verified that the server can see the network and is
accessible from it. Can someone provide insight to this? Thanks.
