I'm running the current version of nessus on an x86_64 linux system and was comparing it to my coworker who runs FreeBSD. We both have the same hardware but he can have his system set to 70/30 on the hosts/checks and still have an extremely response system and no false positives in the scan results. If I try to even set anything close to those my system grinds to a halt and the results are extremely suspect.
The question I have is what tuning can I do on Linux systems to make the performance somewhat similar. I'm guessing that I won't be able to match it because of the differences between the OS's network stack and kernel. -- B _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
