I didn't try it with 2.2.10, but the bug is still there with version 2.2.11 for me:

 * Service nessusd starting
Loading the plugins... 3876 (out of 20882)/usr/lib/nessus/plugins/nikto.nasl: bad signature. Will not execute this script
/usr/lib/nessus/plugins/nikto.nasl could not be loaded
All plugins loaded

Comment 2 Anton Bolshakov 2008-03-18 04:55:21 UTC

Sorry,
the original error message is different:

Service nessusd starting
Loading the plugins... 3876 (out of 20882)nessus-libraries/libnessus/store.c:
/usr/lib/nessus/plugins/nikto.nasl has a too long preference-name (69)
nikto.nasl failed to load

I've filed bug to upsteam:

Comment 3 Anton Bolshakov 2008-03-18 13:38:30 UTC

Looks like the bug has been fixed in rev 1.16.
Frank, could try it?

Comment 4 Frank Breedijk 2008-03-19 07:22:50 UTC

Still have the error in 2.2.10, but I am on 7 day delayed feed.

# /usr/sbin/nessusd
Loading the plugins... 15810 (out of 20882)nessus-libraries/libnessus/store.c: /usr/lib64/nessus/plugins/nikto.nasl has a too long preference-name (69)
nikto.nasl failed to load

Will try with 2.2.11 shortly.

Comment 5 Frank Breedijk 2008-03-19 08:37:01 UTC

Looks like it is working with nessus-2.2.11.

Comment 6 Anton Bolshakov 2008-03-19 09:54:59 UTC

It has started to load it for me too. I think it was some short delay from nessus update site and it might work with lower versions of nessus as well. 
Please close the bug.

Netmon Herd: sorry for trouble ;)
