Re: Nessus 2.2.1 plugins via proxy

[chmod077_at_gmx.de]

Dear Renaud,

after editing
/usr/local/etc/nessus/nessus-fetch.rc

the command
nessus-fetch --url http://www.nessus.org/index.php test.txt
works fine.


but
nessus-update-plugins
gives me:
An unknown HTTP error occured (http error code: 404)
Could not retrieve the plugins MD5
Aborting

after
nessus-fetch --register 1111-2222-2323-2323-blaa

I only can see:
could not connect to plugins.nessus.org - Success

after
nessus-fetch --check

I see:
nessus-fetch is not configured to receive a direct plugin feed. Use
nessus-fetch --register first


What is going on here?
I am very confused....
