I know you folks are probably crazy busy, but if any of you get a
moment, I would greatly appreciate your help. I have the NST running
the nessus daemon after creating the ramdisk and using the -rdir
option as described in the section about nessus.
 
I then installed nessuswx on a separate machine, connected to the
nessus server, and created a session to test with. In that session
under port scanners, I had all of the scanners listed there that are
supposed to be, according to what I've read; nessus, netstat, and
among others, Nmap. This was very cool. I set options in Nmap for the
scan I wanted to run, then started a scan. Everything semed to go
well, and I was able to look at the report and analyze it.
 
What happened next, I do not know. I deleted the test session I had
created, and when I went to create a new session, I no longer had Nmap
as an option on the Port Scanner page. I have deleted all references
to nessus from the wx machine (including the registry, files, and
folders) and then unzipped wx again. No luck. When I try to create a
new session, I still have no Nmap option.
 
Is this something anyone has seen or heard of before? I am scheduled
to do some vulnerability scanning on Monday, and Nmap was a
significant factor in that plan. I guess I could run the scan manually
from the command line; it still works that way. But no matter what I
do, I cannot get Nmap to show up as a scanner in Nessuswx anymore.
Again, any help or guidance you can provide would be most appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.

- Joe
