Salam,
Okay, open /etc/sysconfig/iptables and add the following line below the
one that says --dport 22:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1241
-j ACCEPT
By the way, editing the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file is not usually the
best way to alter your Linux personal firewall, but for simple changes
like this, it's the quickest. Make sure you copy the original file to
iptables.orig or something like that.
Also, if you don't know iptables, you should learn it. It's a good way
to close up some of the vulnerabilities that Nessus finds - particularly
when there are no patches available to fix them.

Enclosed is the iptabl;es file, to be honest with you, I have never
touched it. This is a fresh new install Fedora Core 4 I did 10 days ago
Thasnks again for your help

So many thanks, you are correct, I ran Nessus client on the linux
machine by typing nessus in a terminal session. However, when
connecting there is a box where this port is specified.
As I said, I am new to Linux and nessus, so how can I open the port,
how do I use IPTABLES? I have my Router who assign IPs to my machines,
my Linux has always 192.168.0.10

Is iptables running on the Linux server running Nessus? (My
question
assumes you were running the X client on the same machine as the
Nessus
daemon.) If it is, you'll have to open up port 1241.

Thanks everybody, my nessus server is working fine, thanks folks.
However, when running the client on Linux, it connects and I managed
to
scan 2 servers. However, I downloaded the win32 version on a win
2003
box, I can not connect to the server on linux. Of course I ping the
linux machine. Iget the following error in the output window
ERROR: Cannot establish connection with 192.168.0.10 (Socket error
0).
So is there a config param to allow/Deny clients remotly?
Second question, in the win32 interface, in setting dialog box I
have
the possibility to designate a database. On Linux I issue "nessus"
on a
terminal session to laumchthe client, is there another way or just
it is
not possible to point to a database.
Thanks
