Trouble running Nessus 3.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.1

from [Scott Kennedy] Network Security [Permanent Link]
Subject: Trouble running Nessus 3.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.1
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:51:23 -0800 
I have been running Nessus on my Macs, Linux, and Windows boxes for years,
and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard. But, when I
start the Nessus Server manager I see it ³Processing the Plugins² and then
it says ³The Nessus server is not running²

Yet, when I do a ps I see this..

Macintosh:~ sck$ ps auxww | grep -i nessus
sck      25603   0.5  0.4   442060  11536   ??  S     9:39PM   0:01.80
/Applications/Nessus/Nessus Client.app/Contents/MacOS/Nessus Client
-psn_0_811206
sck      25658   0.0  0.0    75964      0 s000  R+    9:42PM   0:00.00 grep -i
nessus
root     25609   0.0  0.0    91372    360   ??  S     9:39PM   0:00.01
/Library/Nessus/run/sbin/nessusd -a 127.0.0.1 -D
sck      25590   0.0  0.2   436648   7840   ??  S     9:38PM   0:01.32
/Applications/Nessus/Nessus Server Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/Nessus Server
Manager -psn_0_807109

But, when I check for a listener on 1241.

Macintosh:~ sck$ netstat -na | grep 1241
Macintosh:~ sck$ netstat -na | grep -i listen
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.1100         *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  *.31416                *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.631          *.*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0  ::1.631                *.*                    LISTEN
 56d7aa0 stream      0      0  63d7c20        0        0        0
/tmp/launch-eWsgeS/Listeners


So it isn¹t running a listener, and the only log details I see are...
