Are you sure you installed Nessus 2.1.1 ? What do 'nessusd -d' show to
you ?

Sorry. I should have posted to the list.

[root@percolator root]# /usr/local/nessus_test/sbin/nessusd -v
nessusd (Nessus) 2.1.1 for Linux
(C) 1998 - 2004 Renaud Deraison <deraison@nessus.org>

I downloaded and ran the nessus_installed.sh shell script. Do I need
to download the tar balls and explicitly configure with OpenSSL?

I have

[root@percolator root]# /usr/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

[root@percolator root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)

Sincerely,

To get this to work right on Fedora I believe I had to install the
openssl-devel package which I'm pretty sure isn't installed by default.

Hope this helps,

What part did you install of OpenSSL?

Check with `rpm -qa|grep openssl` to check you have the development stuff.
