HI

I have installed Solaris 10 in virtual PC and not updated with any security 
patch. 
I have updated Nessus with latest plug-ins
 
 I have scanned using Nessus for all Solaris 10 (i386) patches. But 
Nessus didn't show any vulnerability in that PC.
 
Sun has released with few updates in month of November. 
But I don't see those vulnerabilities in my scans report.

 So please suggest on this.
 


Regards,
Sri

Thanks George. I'm a little unclear on this - are you saying I should
install a different version or are you saying that I can configure my
current installation to run without x-windows?
Basically, I'd like to set it up to run on a regular schedule and send/save
the results to an email or file. This shouldn't be too difficult. right?

There is a commandline client ("nessus") included with the *nix-based
Nessus product but setting it up without a GUI-client is not something I
recommend, especially if you're not intimately familiar with Nessus
itself.

Hi all: Thanks Bob I am now able to run the NessusClient from the folder
by clicking the icon; However when I type the command "
 # /opt/nessus/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf. I am getting the message "access
denied, I am just curious if his is something I should worry about.

nessusd.conf is a text file of settings, not executable, probably owned by
root.  So if you needed to edit it, you need to do it as root.

Hi guys,

       /usr/local/bin/nessus -T text -x -q host port user PassWord 
/root/nessus/targets /root/nessus/results.bla

I use that command when running running a scan. The -T text will mean it will 
not load up X/GUI.

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Alex.

Hi ...


I initially configure my preferences from the GUI (Nessus Client 3.0.0) 
and execute a scan directly, which also calls & executes Nikto (2.01) 
successfully on the Nessus server.  However, when I export from the GUI 
(.nessusrc) to use (via command line) on the Nessus server 
(/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -c .nessusrc) Nikto is called, however, does 
nor execute irrespective of being in the path and enabled in '.nessusrc'. 
Logs show Nikto being called, however, does nor execute.  I can run Nikto 
manually successfuly.  Your advice is much appreciated.


.NESSUSRC:
safe_checks = no
auto_enable_dependencies = yes
Nikto (NASL wrapper)[checkbox]:Enable Nikto = yes


NESSUS SERVER:
This is Nessus 3.0.6. [build 283] for Linux 2.4.21-4.ELsmp
compiled with gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)
Current setup :
        nasl: 3.0.6
        libnessus: 3.0.6
        SSL support: enabled
        SSL is used for client / server communication
        Running as euid: 0


Many thanx

Andrew
