Hi Jason,

Could you send me the KB for that faulty host ?

Thanks,

Hi there

I'm trying to get nessus-3.0.6 to scan our CentOS servers and it's
having some difficulty.

If I scan a Fedora8 box (with root creds via ssh pubKey), I get  
details
about what IP addresses are assigned to each interface, it's "uname"
details, and a nice listing of all RPMs installed, and which ones are
out of date. Life is good :-)

If I do the same thing against a CentOS4.6 server, I get the IP  
address
detail, the "uname" detail, but no RPM detail.  I see tonnes of
"centos_RHSA*" checks occurring in the nessusd log, but it never seems
to run unix_enum_sw.nasl - which would give the listing of RPMs
installed. Obviously if I log in and manually run "rpm -qa", I get a
listing of all RPMs installed.

Any ideas? Thanks
