When I run the strace command I get the following:

Process 8341 attached
[pid  8341] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  8341] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  8341] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  8341] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Process 8340 suspended
Process 8340 resumed
Process 8341 detached
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---

btw: nessus.org resolves to 66.240.11.101

thanks

Are you sure this isn't a network problem? Looks like my 
nessus-update-plugins is hitting 91.121.66.143:443. Are you able to get 
there with something like lynx or telnet?

# strace -f -etrace=connect /path/to/nessus-update-plugins

will show you the IP it's trying if for some reason it's different than 
mine.
