Could you details this, please? If there are any issues with the rpms,
I'd like to fix them. AFAICT they are working just fine.
I beg to differ. I have reported serious problems with them in the past.
Installing from source on the same system resulted in a flawlessly working
setup.
Your report was quite scare in details ("random segfaults", you didn't
even mention whether it was nessus or nessusd) and thus not really
useful, and you couldn't detail it any more.
Given the fact that there are ten thousands of nessus downloads per
month w/o anyone reporting bugs, I still believe your machine was
borked, either due to prelinking or due to remnants of local installs
under /usr/local.
Please try a clean box and if you find issues there post them here, or
at atrpms-users or file them under bugzilla.atrpms.net.

But do these work well? I have tried the FC1 packages but they
resulted in unpredictable segmentation faults.
I am using FC1 builds since quite some time. Could you check
with rpm -V, if perhaps something has broken? Make sure that you
have no mixing of /usr and /usr/local components, in case you
have a local build there.
I tried it on a clean install with just the RPM files as source.
I cleared them out completely and used a clean source install
instead. So there is no debugging to be done.
I have seen problems (not nessus specific) stemming from FC1's
prelinking. Perhaps that was your problem, this should be reflected
in rpm -V output.
There have been ~9200 downloads of the libnessus rpms in May, of
which almost 6000 were for FC1. If they were that buggy, it would
have been noticed. :)
