Your file size should say unlimited, no?
On Linux, programs that want to create files bigger than 2 GB must set the O_LARGEFILE flag when open() is called. I don't think that nessusd does this (do we need huge logs, by the way?) The limitation could be in the file system too. So, we could: 1. Add O_LARGEFILE if it is defined, but we might still hit a rlimit or a FS limit (especially on systems where this flag is not available) 2. Rotate logs if they are bigger than a given size (e.g. 1 GB) when we open them. 1 is cheap (#ifdef), but 2 is much better IMHO. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
