nessus would not compile under 8.1 (fwd)




This is expiring code... maybe it has finally hit its match and you should refer to the nessus.org for further information about newer available versions and also Reply-To: ports@xxxxxxxxxxx instead as this is not a security issue.

Subject: nessus would not compile under 8.1

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@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@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
