Re: Nessus Problem

[Doug Nordwall]

suppose this is a bug in the 1.2.x series. I'm running 1.2.4 on a redhat 7.2 machine. Currently, clientwise, I have a linux machine, a windows machine (using NessusWx) and a mac OS X machine.

try restarting your nessusd. I see this problem occasionally with
1.2.x
(forget what I'm running exactly) and it clears up when i restart my
nessusd.

I have to versions of nessus 1.2.3 and 1.2.5. Both running on Redhat
7.3
boxes.

I am having a problem with 1.2.5. Install went correctly and it does
run
but doesn't give me the same information that the older 1.2.3 version
did.

The newer version only gives details like "A web server is running"
Doesn't
report back type (apache iis5) nor does it show any problems just that
the
server is running.

Did this test on the same target server all options appear to be the
same
using "enable all but dangerous plugins"

Note the 1.2.5 server seems to do the scan in only a couple minutes as
it
takes the 1.2.3 several to complete with the same options almost as if
the
1.2.5 server isn't really doing the test.

Thanks for any help you can give
