I'll have a look in the morning regarding the messages you mentioned. However, I pounded out xaudio in inetd.conf and the problem is now gone. Interestingly enough, this is the line in inetd.conf:
xaudio stream tcp wait root /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver Xaserver -noauth -inetd The binary /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver does not exist on the box. Not sure if that has something to do with it. There are about 600 or so solaris 8 boxes, all with the same inetd.conf, all with this problem. I'm hoping xaudio was the problem. They are servers, so audio isn't needed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michel Arboi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pete Duffin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 4:40 PM Subject: Re: Disable service identification Le Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:30:26 -0400, "Pete Duffin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Do you recall if xaudio has ever been a problem with Nessus? No. I am convinced that your problem is the classical rate limitation on inetd. Have you seen something like "telnet/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated" on your console or in /var/log/messages? Solaris is not uncommon and I'd be very surprised if a denial of service against such a critical component would have been unnoticed until now. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
