Hello everyone,

I'd like to ask someone for their feedback on the 'max_hosts' value in 
/usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf

What exactly does this value mean? I'm using the default value of 30 and need to know 
if I should be playing with this in order to try and solve a problem I'm having when 
feeding nessus a list of more than 20 IP addresses to scan. Nessus 1.2.7 is choking 
and dying when I feed it such a list.

Basically, what I'd love to do is configure Nessus so that no matter how many IP 
addresses I give it in a list, it will just scan 5 or 10 of those, complete the job, 
and then move on to the rest until the job is done. 

Any comments or help would be very much appreciated.

Best,
A Kosmin
