Hi George,
Thanks for the quick reply.

> For the most part, your scans should still run, but since > the calls failed to adjust the limits of those two > resources, you may face trouble when launching external > programs (like nmap). Yes, you are correct. On the first time, I ran nessus from
commadline,
scanning was sucessful. I wanted to test the nmap scanning option, So
I started Nessus in GUI, disabled all plugins, except nmap.nasl. And
I
got only this message in my hmtl report "No noticeable information
found".
The nessus.dump file shows that nmap.nasl failed
The contents of nessus.dump is:
"RLIMIT_DATA: Invalid argument
RLIMIT_STACK: Invalid argument [4579](/opt/iexpress/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins/nmap.nasl) fread: stat(/opt/iexpress/nessus/var/nessus/tmp/nmap-172.16.1.156-533916632): No such file or directory [4579](/opt/iexpress/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins/nmap.nasl) unlink(/opt/iexpress/nessus/var/nessus/tmp/nmap-172.16.1.156-533916632): No such file or directory sh: sysctl: not found." I could not find any files under the /opt/iexpress/nessus/var/nessus/tmp
directory.
The details in the nessus.message file:
"[Mon Mar 28 12:48:56 2005][29759] user ses starts a new scan.

I am really confused. Can you help me
on this regard?.
Can I disable this macro and rebuild Nessus.
Looking to hear from You,
