Hi,
I am sure just sending Nessus a HUP is not quite enough for updatingWhat kind of inconsistencies?
the plugins. I've updated the plugins, done a HUP, and had weird
inconsistencies
Two problems were encountered:
1) Some hosts would not get scanned. There were hosts with no/obscure open ports. There's a message in nessusd.messages that "host is down, skipping" and no knowledge base file is created.
2) Some HTTP vulnerabilities were missed. I didn't do a detailed post mortem.
This happened repeatably (at least 3 times) on a plugins update and problems went away with a stop and start.
I understand that a HUP is supposed to be enough, but this really happened!
