Is there any word of a pending fix for this problem? Im hesitent to upgrade to 9.0 if i cant use nessus and nmap properly. Thanks Adam On Sun, Dec 07, 2003 at 01:06:37PM -0800, Alex Zimin wrote:
According to many mailing list posts, Nmap and Nessus are broken under root user. Unfortunately Nessus does not work well as a non root.
Is there any workaround, to change root user settings, to get it working?

Our group is having problems running nessus with SUSE 9.0.
8.0 works fine with nessus 2.0.9. 9.0 does not.
