    I have successfully run Nessus on VMWare. I didn't seem to have any
    problems with the scanning itself.

    I am not familiar with Virtuozzo, but if its anything like VMWare I
    would suggest checking how the network adapters are handled.

    Subject: Nessus from Virtuozzo server

    I was curious to find out if anyone else has tried running Nessus from a
    virtual server--specifically Virtuozzo? I'm having only intermittent
    success. Nessus doesn't support setting the source IP directly, and for
    some reason keeps generating packets with a source IP of 127.0.0.1.

    I brought this up on the Nessus list, but haven't had any joy. I can't
    be
    the only person in the universe who's tried to run Nessus from one of
    these virtual boxes, so I'm hoping *someone* can tell me that it's been
    successfully done.

    If not, recommendations for a virtual hosting provider that fully
    supports the operation of security scanners would be most welcome.
