I reported a bug a while back about an issue in the targets file too. You can't specify a host by name if the hostname has a hyphen in it. Which means you can't scan name based vhs if they have hyphen's (via the targets file). This isn't true of GUI client, but if run on the cmd line like this:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -T nessus -xq localhost 1241 admin passwd targets For example you can't put www.my-domain.com in there. It tries to operate on a range from www.my to domain.com I'd really like to see this fixed. I'd like to run scans automatically early in the morning.
