Ok, for the record in case this happens to anyone else, I have deleted the plugins directory, re-created it and re-run nessus-update-plugins which has repopulatd it. Restarting nessus now gives no problems..
Re-running the scan of the host now shows everything normally as it did before and I can get back to tweaking my original server that I wanted to test. -h On 28/01/07, Hari Sekhon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I just tried to use it to scan the one thing I wanted to in the first place but the results have false positives that are wildly off for ssh on my linux box for example. It is complaining about accounts that I know don't exist and having just checked again definitely aren't in /etc/passwd. This didn't happen the last time I scanned before upgrading. For example root is one of the false positives but I don't allow root password logins. Seems my installation is broken. Should I just try scrapping eveything and starting again?
