Hi,

I didn't see my earlier message make it to
the Nessus mailing list so am resending.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi,

Nessus commonly core dumps when I do scans. I'm on a FreeBSD
4.7-RELEASE-p2 system and am running nessus 1.2.6. Examples from
the messages file from scanning 2 machines, 10 checks at a time:

Feb 7 10:37:28 yt /kernel: pid 1526 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:37:38 yt /kernel: pid 1641 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:37:53 yt /kernel: pid 1640 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:03 yt /kernel: pid 3234 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:13 yt /kernel: pid 3240 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:18 yt /kernel: pid 3233 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:28 yt /kernel: pid 3239 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:44 yt /kernel: pid 3270 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
Feb 7 10:44:53 yt /kernel: pid 3285 (nessusd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)

When nessus core dumps, is the test restarted or are the results for that particular
test lost.

Thanks,
