Locate will only find a file if three things have occurred:

1) The package was installed on your system.
2) The package was installed via rpm.
2) The updatedb process has run before you did the locate command.

So you can check if it is there by doing "rpm -qa | grep nessus" and if
you get some hits, then try "locate nessus" again.  If you don't get any
hits, double check that you have an updated package database by running
"locate -u" then try it again. If you know that nessus has been
installed and the previous does not work, then it was likely installed
via a tarball rather than an rpm.

Note that nessus is no longer installed by default by RH. I do not have
it on my RH8 nor my RH9 box.
