I was doing a check of our Nessus server (version 2.2.3) and noticed that this past night's automated scans did not have any servers listed in its output files. When I ran the automated scan this morning, the following output was observed:
Output from command /usr/local/bin/nessus -x -q 127.0.0.1 1241 <username> <password> /<path to file>/windows /usr/local/apache/htdocs/outputfiles/windows.html -T html .. The daemon shut down the communication The plugins that have the ability to crash remote services or hosts have been disabled. You should activate them if you want your security audit to be complete Connection closed by the server (SIGPIPE caught) send: Broken pipe send: Success send: Success send: Success send: Success send: Success repeated numerous times until send : Success Communication closed by server nessus: nessusd abruptly shut the communication down - the test may be incomplete I also ran the Nessus GUI from the server and when I did so, I encountered an error message that said the daemon shut the communication down. The nessus-update-plugins script was run last night, as part of a nightly schedule, and was completed prior to the above mentioned automated scan. There are two scans which run nightly, and both generated the same output. Does anyone have any idea what happened and what I need to do to correct it? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
