Are you sure hydra is in your path when you start nessusd ? (ie:  
usually this is done as root).

That is, do the following :

# which hydra
# nessusd -D

If that does not work, try to following :


$ cat << EOF > test.nasl
if ( find_in_path("hydra") ) display("OK\n");
else display("Not found\n");
EOF

And run nasl -X test.nasl (as root, still). If nasl tells you that  
hydra was not found, please send me the exact location hydra is  
installed under, as well as the value of the $PATH variable.
