This is just FYI... hopefully I will figure this out. I have been succesfully using a nessus 2.2.6 instance on Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS box for some time.
After routine Ubuntu patch and nessus plugin upgrade, I find that I can't get meaningful results. If I disable all plugins and select known open ports, ports are detected. On GUI, portscan is shown occurring quickly and then a normal report - albeit with no actual test results. But the ports are detected. If I then enable plugins, I see NO portscan ocurring and the subsequent test indicator goes by slowly. The reports provide general information about TCP and oddly info about a udp 123 listener that IS there but certainly not part of my selection. On a fresh/patched ubuntu 6.0.6 install with fresh nessus install, same results occur. I have tried both with the debian package provided by nessus using dpkg and with the ubuntu synaptic nessus package. Something has changed, and I suspect its ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
