Here's the relevant information from
/usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages, just in case it helps. As you
can see, it connects fine, but then immediately quits after the attack
starts. nessusd.dump is empty. Thanks again for any help.

I think this was brought up not too long ago, but I was unable to find it
in the archives. So...
I just installed Nessus 1.2.3 on SuSE 8.0. After getting everything
configured, users added, etc., I tried running a batch mode scan to test
it. It seemed to connect to the server (localhost) just fine, gave me the
warning message about dangerous plugins being disabled, then immediately
exited and wrote the report file. I looked the report file and it said no
hosts scanned. I tried this a few more times, same thing. So, I tried
scanning using the GUI client. Loaded it, connected to the server,
selected the plugins, entered that target, clicked Start Scan - and
immediately got a results window with no hosts listed. Any ideas what's
going on? I tried both specifying a single host and having it read from a
file with several hosts defined. Thanks.
