+Nessus uses the pcap library, which uses the
+berkeley packet filter (bpf) to do its job.
+
+Since Nessus used multiple processes, several pcap-aware plugins will
+need to access the the bpf at the same time. 
+
+This means that you need to recompile your kernel with the
+following option :
+
+For FreeBSD 5.x:
+pseudo-device   bpfilter
+
+For FreeBSD 4.x:
+pseudo-device   bpfilter NUM
+
+Where 'NUM' is the number of bpf you want -- it should be equal to
+the 'max hosts number' option you enter in nessusd x the
+'max plugins' option.
+	   
+If for instance you want to have 10 nessusd running at the same time,
+each running 5 plugins in parallel, you should create 50 (10 * 5) bpfs
+(as nessusd is extremely lightweight, you can expect to have this amount
+ of processes running at the same time)
+
+If you plan to scan a whole network, we recommand you create at least
+100 of them.
+
+Once your kernel has been rebuilt, get root, cd to /dev
+and do  :
+
+  i=0; while [ $i -lt 100];
+  do
+  ./MAKEDEV bpf$i
+  let i=$i+1
+  done
+
+On FreeBSD, you can directly do :
+      ./MAKEDEV bpf+100
+
+(For FreeBSD 5.x this is not needed since the devfs creates devices when needed)
+
+If you can not recompile your kernel, you can try to run the configure
+script with the option --enable-bpf-sharing. In this case, nessusd will
+try to share one /dev/bpf among multiple processes and do the filtering
+in userland. NOTE THAT THIS OPTION IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL AND WE DO 
+NOT RECOMMAND ENABLING IT.
