Did Nessus find a web server on the target(s)? Does the web server  
fail to generate 404 response codes by any chance? Could you send me a  
KB from one of the targets when you've tried to run the Nikto plugin?

It's a trusted script so unless you set 'nasl_no_signature_check =  
yes' in your nessusd.conf, editing the plugin will prevent it from  
running.

If you're using NessusClient, you will need to create a new policy to  
see the changes. [And restart the server, of course.]

Are you sure it's not the case that the processes are taken a while to  
exit?
