Description Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-14 01:19:12 UTC
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?
Comment 2 Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-15 05:40:49 UTC
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.
