Paul, Have you tried launching the scan from the CLI. It may help determine whether this is a GUI issue or a daemon issue.

To add to the fun, an identical setup works fine and doesn't experience the problem I'm battling on this particular box. Setup: - Solaris 10 sparc on a Netra X1 (SUNW,UltraAX-i2) with 2GB RAM - Nessus 2.2.5 + lib + plugins + libnasl for SunOS - Installed as part of blastwave.org's (unstable tree) pre-compiled binaries The situation: - downloads - installs - mkcerts and addusers - registers with nessus-fetch - updates plugins - nessusd verifies plugins - nessusd starts - nessus gtk client starts (exported to laptop via ssh -Y) - configure scan - hit "start" - "Scanning network from localhost" window pops up... ...and then nothing. It just sits there. It should start loading the host/hosts it's scanning in said window like it normally will. Tried any number of scan options and can't get it to start loading hosts (or just a single host). Connecting across the network (rather than exporting from localhost) from my laptop's 2.2.5 client produces the same results. Connecting it to other servers works fine - it's just this one. nessusd.messages logs: [Wed Oct 5 09:58:35 2005][21618] connection from 127.0.0.1 [Wed Oct 5 09:58:36 2005][21620] Client requested protocol version 12. [Wed Oct 5 09:58:36 2005][21620] successful login of root from 127.0.0.1 [Wed Oct 5 10:01:31 2005][21620] user username : session will be saved as /opt/csw/var/nessus/users/username/sessions/20051005-100131-index [Wed Oct 5 10:01:32 2005][21620] user username starts a new scan. Target(s) : machine-name, with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 10 [Wed Oct 5 10:01:32 2005][21620] user username : testing machines-name (IP-address) [21622] and then 20051005-100131-index logs: machine-name And that's all that's logged. What's strange is the other Solaris 10 X1 is almost a mirror image (can't think of anything different, but obviously something is) and works a-ok. Nearly time to start tracing and sniffing unless someone has a better idea?
