By looking at security/nessus-libraries/Makefile, I think the logic
for checking the availability of bpf is perhaps out of touch with 9.0:
.if ! defined(NESSUS_CLIENT_ONLY)
MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD= needs /dev/bpf which is not available in pointyhat jail
pre-configure:
@if [ ! -c /dev/bpf1 ]; then \
${ECHO} "********************************************************";\
${ECHO} "* W a r n i n g *";\
${ECHO} "* *";\
${ECHO} "* Nessus needs Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf). *";\
${ECHO} "* To use nessus, your kernel must be rebuilt with bpf, *";\
${ECHO} "* and make bpf devices on /dev directory. *";\
${ECHO} "* *";\
${ECHO} "* Be sure to build as many bpf devices as you need. *";\
${ECHO} "* For more info on this read files/README.BPF *";\
${ECHO} "********************************************************";\
${FALSE}; \
fi
.if ! defined(WITH_NESSUS_BPF_SHARE)
@if [ ! -c /dev/bpf40 ]; then \
${ECHO} "********************************************************";\
${ECHO} "* W a r n i n g *";\
${ECHO} "* *";\
${ECHO} "* Nessus needs many bpf devices. If you can't rebuild *";\
${ECHO} "* your kernel with more than 40 bpf devices (as *";\
${ECHO} "* described in files/README.BPF) then build this port *";\
${ECHO} "* with \"make -DWITH_NESSUS_BPF_SHARE\" *";\
${ECHO} "* *";\
${ECHO} "********************************************************";\
${FALSE}; \
fi
.endif
.endif
By issuing these commands was I able to resume building
security/nessus-libraries:
ln -s bpf /dev/bpf1
ln -s bpf /dev/bpf40
The build ran fine until I hit upon this snag:
===> Building for nessus-libraries-2.2.9_1
Creating nessus-config ...

Running make as make -DWITH_NESSUS_BPF_SHARE made no difference, even
after removing the security/nessus-libraries/work and
security/nessus-libnasl/work directories.
It looks like the maintainer needs to get his/her hands dirty for
nessus to work in 9.0.
