Hello, I have successfully completed installing the RPM "Nessus 3.0.5 for Linux" in my Linux (Redhat machine). I am able to use the command line options as you specified to start the scan. But I dont see/know any steps to start the GUI access of starting the Nessus Scan as specified in the Demo. Even in the client installation PDF I didnt find any clue/steps to start the Nessus GUI. At present I am able to see "nessusd waiting for incomming connections" message when I give the command "ps -ef | grep nessus" in my Linux machine. I am also able to use the command line options. I have downloaded the GTK client RPM also from the website. But I am not at all sure about how to proceed from now.
to install it, it's rpm -ivh <fll in the name of the rpm here> very likely if you go to the directory where you downloaded the Nessus Client rpm and type rpm -ivh NessusClient* you will get it installed. This makes the assumption that you have the right package for your system (rpm is only on redhat and fedora core). I wanted to know exactly the below details,
1. Can I start the Nessus GUI only with the nessus server RPM that I have installed and up and running?
no, you need to have the client rpm installed. Please see the instructions above If so how and what are the commands/steps to start the Nessus GUI?
once you have it installed, it's "NessusClient" or "/usr/X11R6/bin/NessusClient" 2. If the GTK client RPM is also needed along with the Nessus server RPM
then how and what are the commands/steps to start the Nessus GUI?
jsut the one command I listed: "NessusClient" or "/usr/X11R6/bin/NessusClient" Kindly help me out as soon as possible.
