[cobalt-security] Problems running nessus

["Jason Hird" <jason.hird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been in my previous post.

I had already read the man pages, and tried both different ports, and
different IP addresses, (typo on my part, I was using nessusd -D, rather
than trying to run the client, I just missed the 'd' off the end in my mail)

I have even allocated extra ip addresses using: ifconfig eth0 add x.x.x.x
and then tried using various different ports, but I always get the same
error.

And I've always tried running it as root.

Regards

Jason
