I am running nessusd version 2.0.5 on Debian Linux 3.0r1 (uname = Linux stalker 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux). I have had this strange issue for some time.
(...)
I have the plugin timeout value set in my nessusd.conf file to 10 minutes, but the nikto wrapper was running way over that.
Is there any additional information I can provide that might help determine why nikto and nessus aren't communicating with each other?
What time does it take for whisker to run when done out of Nessus? Does it take more than 10 minutes? Have you checked /var/log/nessus/nessusd.messages for erorr information that the server might have on this plugin?
Regards
Javi
