Good Day
Trying to build /usr/ports/security/nessus on FreeBSD 9-beta2 with ports
updated via - portsnap fetch update - completed 09/22/2011. The result
from #>make;
===> Applying FreeBSD patches for nessus-libraries-2.2.9_1
===> nessus-libraries-2.2.9_1 depends on executable: bison - found
===> nessus-libraries-2.2.9_1 depends on package: libtool>=2.4 - found
===> 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 *

From an earlier post on freebsd-questions I added;
# Historically X depended on this, but version 4.3.0 doesn't seem to anymore
#link ttyv0 vga
# Commonly used by many ports
#link acd0 cdrom
# Allow a user in the wheel group to query the smb0 device
#perm smb0 0660
# Allow members of group operator to cat things to the speaker
#own speaker root:operator
#perm speaker 0660
own bpf0 root:bpf
perm bpf0 0640
own bpf1 root:bpf
perm bpf1 0640
own bpf2 root:bpf
perm bpf2 0640
own bpf3 root:bpf
perm bpf3 0640
own bpf4 root:bpf
perm bpf4 0640
to /etc/devfs.conf. But I still get;
crw-r----- 1 root bpf 0, 11 Sep 22 21:14 bpf
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Sep 22 21:14 bpf0 -> bpf
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 49 Sep 22 21:14 bpsm0
in /dev after rebooting. Do I require a statement in rc.conf or
loader.conf to activate more bpf devices? Am I editing the right file
the wrong way? The proper handbook chapter escapes me right now.
Previous to trying to build nessus from ports I built a new kernel with
- device bpf enabled.
Thank You,
Michael
