I'm not familiar with the script you're using (part of Inprotect
perhaps?), but the error message looks like something output by
nessus-fetch when it can't establish a secure connection over port 443.
Running a script with the Perl Debugger, I was able to ascertain that
the userid, password, etc.
are correct. However I am able to download an all-2.0.tar.gz file using
the URL:
http://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?f=all-2.0.tar.gz&u=b4be96c6bd080bce5997f1657bf9848f&p=5b1c4849c67f8703319b6af98ebb03ff
nessus-fetch uses https when fetching plugins for a registered / direct
feed to protect credentials. [You've just broadcast yours; you may wish
to re-register.] So... can you connect to port 443 on plugins.nessus.org?
I am behind a firewall, but am not blocking outgoing to either the new
or old plugins.nessus.org
IP address, but my host 172.16.0.0 IP address is being NAT'ed to a
routable 152.16 address.
Do I need to modify the nessus-fetch.rc file? If I do, what do I need to
modify?
nessus-fetch can be configured to support a proxy; I'm not clear if you
need that, but the "man nessus-fetch" will tell you what's needed if so.
What else can I look at?
Does "nessus-fetch --check" report that it's properly configured?
