Increase read_timeout (nessusd.conf or your policy) and the timeouts for find_service.nasl (preferences). The default is 5 s IIRC, it might be too small if packets are lost. If the throughput is sufficient, increase max_checks -- although it probably does not make much sense to go over 6 or 8. If the throughput is limited, then you cannot do that and your scan will be slow. Is this connection reliable and is the RTT stable? -- http://www.bigfoot.com/~arboi http://ma75.blogspot.com/ PGP key ID : 0x0BBABA91 - 0x1320924F0BBABA91 Fingerprint: 1048 B09B EEAF 20AA F645 2E1A 1320 924F 0BBA BA91 _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
