Hi.
I installed nessus-2.2.0 from source a few days ago on my Debian-testing
Linux box. I was getting an error when trying to run
nessus-update-plugins, so I searched and someone had suggested to use
wget instead of lynx in the script.
I edited the script, changing /usr/bin/lynx to /usr/bin/wget for
fetch_cmd and using "-q -o -" for the fetch_args. However, it should be
"-q -O -" (Capital O, not lower case)
If you use -o you will get "Downloading
http://www.nessus.org/nasl/all-2.0.tar.gz failed"
If you use -O, it works fine.
Maybe just modify the script. I've attached a diff for
nessus-plugins/nessus-update-plugins.in
