George-
I re-downloaded the scripts this morning, and made the following
changes to update-nessus-plugins:
Updated the $ENV{PATH} with "/opt/nessus/sbin" (line 161)
Line 183 added / changed the my $plugins_dir to
"/opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins"
I have placed the following scripts in the directory:
"/opt/nessus/auto"
update-nessus-plugins
describe-nessus-plugin
********************
When I executed the update-nessus-plugin script with the following
command this morning:
"sudo perl -T /opt/nessus/auto/update-nessus-plugins -bps >
/home/cashby/plugin-report.txt"
I received this error:
Can't open 'W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl' - No such file or directory at
/opt/nessus/auto/update-nessus-plugins line 317
Reviewing the script it appears to fail after the plugins have been
updated and the 2nd round of MD5 hashing is taking place, with leads
me to believe that the script is having difficulties creating a new
MD5 of newly downloaded or changed plugins??? (probably way off base
here?)
Obviously the plugins are being updated because if the script runs
again I receive this message after it's completed:
"No errors found parsing new / changed plugins."
Am I possibly doing something wrong? Thanks for any assistance...
