Problem starting up nessus

[Corrales Romero Jorge]

George, 

   When I run the script manually it Works  fine, the problem is when I
reboot the server because nessus does not starts up automatically.   I
suppose that there is something nessus is not finding when the script runs
automatically( a file, a lib or something else), but I find it when I ran
the script manually.

I thought you said originally that when you ran the first script it
worked fine. 

If that's correct, then you seem to have reversed the links.  Otherwise,
do you get the same error if you try to start nessusd manually?

That won't work -- nessus-mkrand uses keyboard input to generate random
data.  Look into the SUNWski package from Sun or programs such as EGD --
<http://egd.sourceforge.net/> -- or andirand --
<http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/SUNrand/> -- to provide a working
/dev/urandom for your box.
