well, i'm not sure exactly in what context you are "running nessus" from. If
you are referring to running the local checks as someone with higher
privileges, then I can say that is how they are designed to run. Most of the
information that comes out of them is supposed to be administrator/root
level.
If you are talking about running the client as root, then it's not a big
deal. i've done it.
The server needs to be run as rot, IIRC.
