I'm running nessus in batch mode against a small network block with
only a few hosts.  The output is HTML.  When I look at the HTML file
after it finishes I see:

# of hosts which were alive during the test:  2
sec holes found: 0
sec warngs found: 0
sec notes: 0
List of tested hosts:
<empty>

etc. etc. etc.

Basically, it says it didn't do anything.  Well, I've watched
nessusd.messages while it's scanning and it's *definitely* doing it's
job.  In addition, I've used this same version and successfully
produced NSR/Text output.  I also know that there are 10+ hosts on
this network segment, all of which are responding to ping properly.

Why is the information in the HTML file so wrong?  It just doesn't
make any sense to me.

For your edification the command used for running nessus is as
follows:

nessus --output-type=html --config-file=/var/www/html/audits/nessusrc
- --batch-mode localhost 1241 randyb password
/var/www/html/audits/10.213.128.0/nessus.hosts
/var/www/html/audits/10.213.128.0/nessus.out


Thanks,



- --Randy
