I am doing some scans of external systems at my office and have a box, the only one available to me at the time setup with CentOS 4.4 on a P4 2.8 with 512 megs ram. It is running a minimal install of the OS and does nothing but Nessus. I start a scan or two /24's hitting all the ports and using all the checks and it locks up for hours, it will then do a burst of checks (I gather this from my logs and my IDS) and then freeze up again. I have it set to only do 5 checks per host and a limit of 5 hosts at a time. I figure with it set that low it should be able to handle that load, am I missing something? I have not used Nessus in a while but never had problems like this before. Thanks in advance for any help you can lend. I am using the current version of everything, it is a fresh box loaded on Monday.
