It looks like you installed the Red Hat version. Did they have .deb or .tar.gz?


Edit: Just checked and they do have .deb for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04. If that is not the package that you got then I would go back and download it.

I agree with Titan8990, seems you installed the Red Hat version. To install Nessus, you can just grab it from the reposapt-get install nessusd

Don't forget the client
and to start the demon all you need to do is run "sudo nessusd"

FYI-
you will need to setup login information on the demon side
ex: user , password and type of account.
