Hi,
I am trying to solve an issue with scans that stop without a clear
indication.
Last friday (Jan 4, 2002) I installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 on a machine and
updated the whole. Installed nmap 2.54BETA30 (latest at that moment) on
the machine.
I installed the latest Development version from CVS. Compiling went ok and
a quick test seemed to do just fine..
I then did the usual type of scanning against a network protected by a
FGireWall-1 machine to verify the installation was done correctly. It
started the scanns including the nmap scanns but stopped scanning after
about 15 minutes.
I checked the nessusd.messages file and noticed that each individual test
is started and ends normally. But at some point in time no further tests
are started.
If I stop the test for a specific IP address (I'm testing 5 machines
concurrently) then the next Ip address will be tested and things seem to
be fine for a while untill the same issue repeats itself.
Does anyone have a clue on how to tackle this problem? I'm out of ideas
but this has been troubling us for months now and occurs both with the
stable and the development versions.
I have found no obvious issues and have extensive logging of the build
process as well as the normal logging of the activities.
The machine has 256 MB and was using over half of that for
caching/buffering and swap usage was 0
Hugo.
