Hey guys,

I'm currently using nessus 2.2.3 on Linux, and I'm having kind of a
strange issue.

When I initiate a remote IP scan, the scan always completes within a few
seconds and the output is always empty.

   Scan Details
   Hosts which were alive and responding during test 0

I assume the second line is the actual reason why there was no output,
but in this case I tried to initiate a scan on 127.0.0.1.  I don't think
the problem is with nessusd necessarily, due to the following in
nessusd.messages:

[Wed Jun  8 11:00:17 2005][1074] user scan starts a new scan. Target(s)
: 127.0.0.1, with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 4
[Wed Jun  8 11:00:17 2005][1074] user scan : testing 127.0.0.1
(127.0.0.1) [1075]
[Wed Jun  8 11:00:17 2005][1074] user scan : test complete
[Wed Jun  8 11:00:17 2005][1074] user scan : Kept alive connection

This to me means that nessusd handled its part of the process correctly,
but the nessus client, due to some sort of health check failing,
determined that no attack scripts be executed on the host in question.
Am I wrong in my assumption, and has anyone else seen this (hopefully
fixed it)?

Thanks,

Tony
