NESSUS problems

[Mister_Dickens]

Hello there,

I am an absolute beginner with LINUX/KNOPPIX but am a very experienced programmer in windows. Yes I have changed my ways and am leaving the dark side. First let me say, KNOPPIX for me is the most impressive piece of software I have seen in the last 5 years... it has blown my mind...

PROBLEM....
I have knoppix running like a gem. I have nessus running like a gem. I have a network card installed, which i can ping from other boxes. I go to connect with nessusWX... can't connect. I have a feeling that nessus service is bound to 127.0.0.1 loopback.

I stop the service with killall -9 nessusd (this seams dodgey, please tell of better way if known)

I run nessus-mkcert and get all the problems with read only....

can anyone help me with this please... i have searched high and low before i came in to bother anyone.

surely someone can help with this?

probably not what you wanna hear, but you can just use STD for nessus.
knoppix is flakey with it afaik
