Mary, Have you considered reviewing the logs on the server (nessusd.messages and nessusd.dump in \usr\local\var\nessus\logs)? Maybe this can give you a better idea of what is happening on the nessus server as you are connecting and running your scans.

The gui freezes. Other times I can login - it will take about 5 minutes. When the gui freezes, I end up killing the nessus client and then start it up again. Nessusd is running. I wonder if there is a way to determine why I cannot login - where is the login getting stuck. Someone mentioned that the user has to pull down all the plugins. Is there a way to check on the status of this? thanks to everyone Mary --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Can you give more information regarding your problem?
