I am running Red Hat Linux release 9 and I have installed Nessus 2.1.3
I am unable to update the plugins by running the script
sh -x nessus-update-plugins
the output is as follows
[root@wsp008608wss bin]# sh -x nessus-update-plugins

It appears that quite a few users have had this problem in the past but
I am yet to see a workable solution in the archives.
Can anyone help?
