hi gurus:
tried to install nessus and it would not compile:
===> Configuring for nessus-libraries-2.2.9_1
********************************************************
* W a r n i n g *
* *
* Nessus needs Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf). *
* To use nessus, your kernel must be rebuilt with bpf, *
* and make bpf devices on /dev directory. *
* *
* Be sure to build as many bpf devices as you need. *
* For more info on this read files/README.BPF *
********************************************************
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/nessus-libraries.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/nessus-libnasl.
*** Error code 1
my bpf is enabled in kernel:
user at host:/usr/ports/security/nessus:$ ls -al /dev/bpf*
crw------- 1 root wheel 0, 24 Feb 18 12:36 /dev/bpf
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Feb 18 12:36 /dev/bpf0 -> bpf
and i could not find this README>BPF:
user at host:/usr/ports/security/nessus:$ more files/README.BPF
files/README.BPF: No such file or directory
my tcpdump and tshark work fine so it should not be bpf issue. any ideas?
thanks
