I installed nessus 2.2.8 on three machines today, one 32 bit FC3
machine, one AMD x86_64 FC4 machine and on my x86_64 FC5 laptop. I did
this in reverse order: I couldn't get nessus to run on my laptop (except
against localhost, or if I disabled all scanning options), then I
couldn't get it to run on my desktop, then in desperation I tried the
FC3 machine, where it ran fine.
If this is a Fedora / 64 bit issue, I can't believe there's no-one else
who's experienced this, yet the last mention of a similar issue on these
lists I can find was in August 2005.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what is happening and how to fix this?
Running gdb against one of the hung nessusd processes running
ping_host.nasl gave the following output:
