We would like to be able to move to 3 because of the speed increase, but
are still running into this issue where not all open ports are being
identified. For now, psyBNC and Communigate Pro are the only two things
that we have confirmed that Nessus 3.x is missing, however, if it is
missing these perhaps would miss others when we do a larger scan. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

When using Nessus 3.x, either with nmap or without, it fails to pick
up all open ports on a host even if the port_range variable is set to
1-65535. When nessus 2.x scans the same exact host, even with the
port_range variable set to default, it picks up the open ports. The
specific example we have been using for our testing is psyBNC, but it
is not currently throwing a banner. Nessus 2.x is currently picking
it up as being an unknown open port, but not psyBNC, because it is
running on a non-standard port and has no banner (this is expected),
however, Nessus 3 does not show the port as being open at all.
Nessus 2 and Nessus 3 have the same port scanners. Which version of
Nessus 2 are you referring to ? (and which version of Nessus 3?)
