Not sure if this got through the first time:
 
 
 I'm trying to determine the significance of this plugin and how it
impacts the report.  I have several reports where this plugin says a
"port was open at the beginning of the scan, and is now closed..." but
there is still output from other plugins for that port.  If
check_ports.nasl determines a port to be closed, do other plugins launch
against the port after that, or does nessus consider the port to be
closed?
 
Also :
 
Does the plugin determine a port to be closed if it fails to open a tcp
socket (in which case the port may not be closed), or if it receives a
RST (in which case the port is most definitely closed)? 
 
 
What would be the implications of disabling this plugin? 
 
thanks
