Hello: I am currently working with nessus 2.2.6 and nessus 3.0.3 on two seperate ubuntu 6.06 systems, and for some reason it is only performing checks - it is not performing TCP scans.
snippit from the logfiles: [Wed Aug 9 18:55:51 2006][5239] user ewhitehill starts a new scan. Target(s) : x.x.x.x, with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 5 [Wed Aug 9 18:55:51 2006][5239] user ewhitehill : testing x.x.x.x ) [3176] [Wed Aug 9 18:55:55 2006][3176] user ewhitehill : launching clrtxt_proto_settin gs.nasl against x.x.x.x [3178] [Wed Aug 9 18:55:55 2006][3176] user ewhitehill : launching ssh_settings.nasl a gainst x.x.x.x [3179] For scan options, I have Nessus SNMP, Netstat 'scanner', Nessus TCP scanner, and Ping the remote host checked. Port range is set to the default. Granted, I am still getting the results I want, however it is taking a very long time (several hours to do a /24) and it's getting to be rather frustrating. I remember seeing something about this a while back, however I can't seem to find that message in the archives. I do have a feeling I missed just something obvious, however I can't figure out what it is. Apologies in advance for my .signature. Thanks, -Eric -- Eric Whitehill [EMAIL PROTECTED] PEOPLE.
