Hi Renaud,

I removed all traces of both Nessus and Hydra from this machine -- .rc files, data files, everything. Then I reinstalled each -- Hydra first, then Nessus 3 into the same locations as before ('/usr/local/bin/hydra' and '/opt/nessus'). All of the Hydra plugins now appear in the plugin list :-)

It's not clear to me what happened, so I must assume "pilot error" on my part. However, I'm certain that both Nessus and Hydra were in their recommended locations, as well as in my path when I started 'nessusd -D'. I did bring over some .rc files from a 2.2.x environment, so is it possible that I tripped over a side-effect?

Anyway, appreciate your help...

Thanks,

Thom

Are you sure hydra is in your path when you start nessusd ? (ie: usually this is done as root).

That is, do the following :

# which hydra
# nessusd -D

If that does not work, try to following :


$ cat << EOF > test.nasl
if ( find_in_path("hydra") ) display("OK\n");
else display("Not found\n");
EOF

And run nasl -X test.nasl (as root, still). If nasl tells you that hydra was not found, please send me the exact location hydra is installed under, as well as the value of the $PATH variable.
