I just upgraded one of my machines to FreeBSD 7, and figured I'd give
3.2 a try (since it was just released :) ).
I see somebody posted earlier having issues with missing libraries,
well, mine is fine but nessusd sucks up all CPU when it's running. It
ought not to be a hardware-too-slow issue, it's a dual-CPU Xeon machine,
so I think that's fine.
Here's my ldd:
watcher206# ldd /usr/local/nessus/bin/nessus
/usr/local/nessus/bin/nessus:
libnessus.so.5 => /usr/local/nessus/lib/libnessus.so.5 (0x28098000)
libnessusrx.so.1 => /usr/local/nessus/lib/libnessusrx.so.1 (0x2810f000)
libpcap-nessus.so.5 => /usr/local/nessus/lib/libpcap-nessus.so.5
(0x28118000)
libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x28143000)
libssl.so.4 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 (0x28154000)
libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x28183000)
libpthread.so.2 => /lib/libpthread.so.2 (0x2827b000)
libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x2829f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x282b8000)
watcher206#
Here's part of a truss output after starting up nessusd, don't know if
it's at all helpful:
-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL -1081120640 --
kse_wakeup(0x80ac68c,0x80ae234,0x80b4600,0x282ccf42,0x282d84bc,0x80ae334)
= 383 (0x17f)
-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL -1081120640 --
-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL -1081120640 --
-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL -1081120640 --
-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL 134924172 --
There's screens of that flying by the whole time, so I don't know if
that's normal operation or not. If it helps, all I did was a pkg_add
from the FreeBSD 6 package, although the installer hung trying to update
plugins (I think it was starving from CPU lack in retrospect, since I'd
seen a nessusd process running). I killed that and the installer seemed
to complete normally, telling me about the rc script.
I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Nessus, but I'm willing to try
anything anybody wishes to suggest. I've installed the compat6x port as
well, in the hopes that would help - no joy.
Thanks,
Mike
