Hi For those who are interested - the solution to the strange seg fault problem:
Seems my other "soon to be ex" admin had been playing around with some profile type scripts and made some path changes. He had also been working on his own 'nessus' programs and when he made the path change a program he had been writing for the client, was called instead of the standard nessus command. The problem was simple -- In his program he had a call to getlogin() function, which of course, under cron returns a null pointer. He was nto checking this and was returned the function call directly via strcpy - poof - seg fault! Thanks for the suggestions, but in the end - it was a bad sys admin that was doing things he should not have been doing. He will be more closely monitored from now on.. *sigh* _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
