Nessus is a security scanner that crawls across a network, looking
for well-known vulnerabilities and common misconfiguration.
It has a unique set of features, including automatic SSL discovery,
services recognition (so it will catch, for instance, a FTP server
running on a port different than 21) and its own scripting language.
The Nessus Security Scanner is released under the GNU General Public
Licence and aims to be easy to use while extremely powerful.

PS: To install the lot in one operation, do nessus-plugins first.
===> The following configuration options are available for nessus-2.2.9_3:
GTK2=on: GTK+ 2 GUI toolkit support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

Mark Nessus ports deprecated. Nessus became proprietary closed-source
software many years ago and the ports are now outdated. A good alternative
is OpenVAS which started as a fork of the open-source Nessus.

- Display a stage-qa warning when ports use PREFIX/var instead of /var
- Add --localstatedir=/var to _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS (like --mandir) but not
when CONFIGURE_ARGS already sets it. (GNU configure scripts set it to
PREFIX/var when PREFIX != /usr.)
- Add --localstatedir="${PREFIX}/var" to CONFIGURE_ARGS in some ports so
they aren't affected by this change (for now at least). This commit is
meant to ensure that new ports don't make the same mistake.
- games/acm: the configure script in this port is very old; instead of
patching it more, just replace GNU_CONFIGURE with HAS_CONFIGURE.
- irc/charybdis: it already used /var but adding --localstatedir=/var
changed the behaviour of the configure script; adjust the port to this.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Adopt the standard nessus directory structure, reducing the number of
files in ${PREFIX}/etc/nessus. Move existing files to the right places.
Bump PORTREVISION. (Also do a little bit of work on pkg-plist).
Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
