Hi,
I have a system that is stuck with a number of processes unfinished. The
messages file did not show any activity for about 24 hours.
If someone has some suggestions to gain some additional details from I can
do so tomorrow morning.

The scan includes 1 class C network (all behind a firewall with the
exception of the /28 network of the scanner) and about a dozen Ip
addresses of various servers that have been added to gain a real life
picture of the quality of the new scanner.
While I can not rule out any hardware issues with 100% certainty the last
hardware check (24 hours of kernel compilation in an endless loop) did not
reveal any flaw.
Regards,
Hugo.
