Thanks to all for your help. We are, apart from this appliance, a M$ house and so going the Satellite route didn't seem ideal so we've allowed this server to obtain updates from the RH repositories. My Nessus scanners are on laptops which, once connected to the networks, are not allowed to connect back to the Internet. Because of this Nessus is updated offline which works well. Every couple of weeks (or depending on if a new or updated tool is released) I rebuild them from scratch using an updated build image. On 23 Nov 2010, at 23:05, Timothy Legge wrote:

Just curious.In my setup I have a system that is allowed to access the Nessus update site. I have a fairly simple script that downloads the updates for several licensed feeds to that server and drops them in a web server directory. The nessus servers then requests the correct update file for it's license via a cron job. The setup just requires me to drop a file in the correct directory on the web server machine to make it request a new scanner's feed file.
