There's no easy answer to your question; it depends on the resources available to nessusd (memory and bandwidth chiefly), whether you can afford to crash anything, what exactly you mean by "a full scan", whether you're working in a limited timeframe, whether you're scanning through a firewall, etc. The book "Nessus Network Auditing" should help you answer some of these questions [nb: I'm a co-author], but unfortunately time and experience are the best teachers. :-) > I can see it's set to 10 scans per host, does this just mean it will > only do 10 scans per host and no more? Are you talking about "Number of checks to perform at the same time"? That refers to checks done in parallel, not for the entire scan.
