I see that the scan results on the same machine, in the same

only nmap and the problem does not appear.
Maybe is the nmap wrapper that is failing ?
On the machine where it's failing:
o Is nmap even installed?
Yes
o Does your scan make use of the nmap_wrapper plugin?
Yes
o Does the nmap_wrapper plugin run? Successfully? Check the
nessus logs.
the nessusd.messages say that the nmap_wrapper.nes has been launched succesfully...
only it find no open ports.
o Is nmap available in the same PATH used when starting the Nessus
daemon? If not, the daemon will not attempt to run the
nmap_wrapper plugin.
yes
o What are the permissions on nmap and as what uid does the Nessus
daemon run?
The permission on nmap is 755 and nessusd is running as root
