Hi there, I'm getting an odd error message at the beginning of the
output of a nessus scan:

rules_new():open : No such file or directory
Loading the Nessus plugins...
Loading the plugins... 51 (out of 13706)

The command-line I'm using is:

/security/nessus/bin/nessus -x -c [config file] -q [address] [port]
[username] [password] [targets file] [results file] -T nbe

I'm running nessus (Nessus) 2.2.8 for Linux

Sadly the error message doesn't tell me what file it's trying to open,
so I can't easily see what the problem is.  Any clues?

it's likely that it's trying to open $prefix/etc/nessus/nessusd.rules and can't because this directory hierarchy does not exist.

Your path seems odd and you probably did not install Nessus properly, otherwise this directory would exist. Did you move the whole Nessus install from one location to another ?
