For those who want Nessus on Backtrack 3 (Nessus is not included by default), for completing the rest of pentest distro, you should do step-by-step installation and configuration like this:
1. Just download Nessus and NessusClient (Fedora’s rpm) from nessus.org
2. Convert the RPMs to TGZ format
rpm2tgz Nessus-3.2.x-fc9.i386.rpm
rpm2tgz NessusClient-3.2.x-fc8.i386.rpm
3. Since Backtrack is a distro made within Slax environment, the Slackware’s pkgtool should be there:
installpkg Nessus-3.2.x-fc9.i386.tgz
installpkg NessusClient-3.2.x-fc8.i386.tgz
4. Now, set up the application
cd /opt/
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/nessus/bin:/opt/nessus/sbin:
cp /usr/lib/libssl.so /lib
cp /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /lib
cp /opt/nessus/lib/libnessus.so.3 /lib
cp /opt/nessus/lib/libnessusrx.so.0 /lib
cp /opt/nessus/lib/libpcap-nessus.so.3 /lib
cd /lib
ln libssl.so libssl.so.6
ln libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/nessus/lib #add this line to the config file
ldconfig
/opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-mkcert
/opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-adduser
5. Register the Nessus Server. Use the code they emailed to you.
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch –register [20 alphanumeric code]
6. Run the Nessus Server
/opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -D
7. Run the NessusClient
/opt/nessus/bin/NessusClient
