If I run NessusClient on my Linux device it creates .nbe reports in a
nessus dir in my home directory.
How come ?

That's how NessusClient operates; other clients don't save results in this fashion.


I have to logon with the user I created for nessus, in this case test01,
but the results show up in my own home directory and not in the
/opt/nessus/var/nessus/users/test01 directory ?

That doesn't make sense and is not very practical as my colleague does not
have access to these files but should have.

You can control where reports are saved using the NESSUSHOME environment variable ("man NessusClient" for info); you'll need to tweak permissions outside of the client, though.


Ah, and when I run NessusWx I don't get these files at all, so there is
nothing on the Linux device in regards to reports.

I don't understand this. NessusClient definitely supports several output formats for reports.
