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
under my kernel file, it has:
# The `bpf' device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.
# Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this!
# Note that 'bpf' is required for DHCP.
device bpf # Berkeley packet filter
i have wireshark/tshark running without any issues.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
_gahn.
