Here is the error: root@pclouds pclouds # /etc/init.d/nessusd start * Starting nessusd... Couldn't find any prefs file... Creating a new one... prefrences_new():open : No such file or directory Error creating /etc/nessus/nessusd.conf [ !! ] mkdir /etc/nessus would solve this problem. I think the ebuild should create this directory automatically (in pkg_install or in /etc/init.d/nessus)
not reproducible here, using the same ebuild it do actually create the directory, did you notice any weird message or error during emerge?
Well, i tried again and the problem disappeared :( So this is a false alarm. Sorry. Anyway i would suggest the init script check for existence of /etc/nessus in case users may occasionally remove it.
