I am running Nessus 2.10 on a SuSE linux 9 KDE 3.1. I am just beginning to use nessus and am trying to test/train by scanning a single client on the same subnet. When I use the nessus client from the linux box I get NO results in any of the windows. The Report window pops up after about 5 seconds and all subwindows are empty (Subnet, Port, Severity and Host.). I have simultaneously done windump and tcpdump on the target PC and the nessus box during the test and I can seen that traffic is being sent and received from one box to the other.
I have also installed the NessusWX client and HAVE successfully scanned the very same target getting results.


The WX client is OK but there are two reasons I want to use the linux client. 1) I don't see any option to enable SMB credentials in order to do regristry scanning and 2) I will need to do scans at remote sites using my linux laptop so I need to be confident/familiar with the report output from this client. Am I missing something obvious regarding the output on the linux client? When I click on any of the drop down arrows on the empty report I noticed that the window left open when I started 'nessus' client reports 'Garbage is in the conditions'. FYI - I also tried a scan to another target on the same subnet with the same results.

Any tips/help is appreciated.
