Re: Nessus Crappin out...

we might actually have a problem with nessus installed on a redhat
server... it appears to be that segmentation fault problem again!

what i have done to resolve the problem (temp measure since i needed
to execute a long scan before the weekend)

rename the .nessusrc & .nessus-client

deleted the above and had nessus recreate them, the scan executed as expected...

any thoughts as to why i would have to do this?  I'm running nessus
3.2.1 on a redhat es server.  this issue just started the other day?!

thanks
