Although for Slackware 10.2, I found this page very useful when installing
Nessus on Backtrack2 (Slackware 11) - it works nicely for me.

While backtrack has replaced auditor, it's important to note, that Nessus
isn't included with backtrack (last I checked), so the auditor scripts that
Andrew references are likely not to be found on backtrack. May need to search
archives for an auditor ISO at the remote-exploit site.

Hello,
Auditor has been merged with Whax under the name of BackTrack
(http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html).

Betreff: RE: Knoppix
I bought the Open Source Petesters Toolkit book by syngress, which is
basically a guide for using Auditor. Auditor is a tweaked knoppix with various
security tools, and it includes Nessus. In the book it has a nice script for
loading the latest plugins using a usb pen drive. Ill see if I can dig it out
for you. The obvious upshot of this is you don't need to burn a new copy of
nessus with the updated plugins everytime you want to scan.
Have not been able to find it yet. Ill post it later if I find it.
