Nessus 2.2.3 contains a new option called "silent dependencies" which can be
used to filter out the noise generated by some plugins not directly enabled by
the user. It also contains a slightly more intuitive GUI which now contains
a "Credentials" tab to put Windows and SSH usernames and passwords.
- ok'ed frueauf
- specify local state dir
Local security checks over SSH : Nessus can now log into the remote hosts
to determine their patch levels and missing updates
A rewritten internal knowledge base API : the new knowledge base API makes
KB access faster and lets the plugins store any amount of data
An improved internal communication between the various nessusd processes, thus
reducing the overhead it takes to handle the results of the plugins and pass
them to the client
An improved plugin scheduler which reduces the time Nessus needs to organize
the order in which plugins should be launched
Sensitive scripts (which can execute commands over SSH) are cryptographically
signed
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
* Fixed a bug in ./configure which would sometimes assume that GTK is not
installed whereas it actually is
* Fixed a race condition in nessus-adduser for users who do not configure
their TMPDIR variable (thanks to Cyrille Barthelemy)
* Fixed a bug in nessus-update-plugins which would not update the plugins
properly on all systems (thanks to Keith Butler)
* Fixed the installer to compile Nessus with GTK support if gtk-config OR
pkg-config is installed.
