So far, I've found that the scan ends prematurely if
I've selected Nmap (ver 2.54beta31) or SNMP port scan
under Scan Options. I'm also not getting any logging
in nessusd.messages except for the nessusd startups.
I've used the nessus client and the NessusWX 1.4.0
client.
I'll keep you informed with any other findings I may
have.
Respectfully,
