I am familiar with beta versus production but I wanted to try nessus on FreeBSD 9 because 9-beta2 was already installed, and updated and appears to have such wonderful features. The /usr/ports/misc/compat8 suggestion appears to have been the answer. The daemon is running now. The company will purchase Nessus for Business but I have to prove it first. I am just grateful that tenable has continued to offer it on something other than windows. I will try and make my future posts to the proper mailing list. Thank You, Michael
