What output do you get when you do
ulimit -a
Your file size should say unlimited, no?

Subject: Nessusd fails to start with File size limit exceeded
Just in case anybody else runs in to this, I am running Nessus on a Linux
(Fedora Core 2) box, this AM when I tried to start up nessusd it loaded all of
the plugins but then died with the error "File size limit exceeded". Turns out
that the nessusd.messages file had reached the file size limitation on linux. I
thought that the limit was four gigabytes for a file single file, looks like 2
GB to me though 2147483647 was what an ls -la of the file showed.
Oh well, just a tip for anybody else who may run in to the same error.
Thanks!
