Hi Renaud, thanks for the response.  We also did a "yum update" to get
the latest system (CentOS 5.6 x86_64) updates.  Then we rebooted with
the new IPv6 address (IPv4 address didn't change) and Nessus suddenly
started refusing to update because:

  "Could not validate this nessus-fetch.rc file - has it been copied
   from another system?"

It may be the same problem experienced by this CentOS Nessus user:

In that case you suggested that he reregister the scanner feed from
scratch and get a new key.  That's what we did too, and it seems to be
working again now.

Cheers,
Fyodor
