backtrack doesn't include Nessus any longer. what I have do is to
download the latest version of *nuix nessus and sharutils (backtrack
does not include uudecode) for Slackware 11. Install sharutils and then
install nessus normally. It's not pretty but it works.

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_).

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.
