I did not follow the thread so forgive me if I am off. But doesn't nessus come with the suse cds? So why the tarballs? On Fri, 23 Feb 2001, kleindoofi wrote:

Try
ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/sec2/nessus-1.0.7a-0.i386.rpm
The start script was broken in the nessus rpm on 7.1. Can happen...
Anyway, get the source rpm and rebuild the package for the older
distributions. Or just try out this package on 7.0 or 6.4, it (basically)
should do, but no warranty. Ah, the start scripts from 7.1 are
incompatible with the ones from 6.x and 7.0 (basically only the location
in /etc/init.d is). And there are no symlinks.
