Has anyone had a problem with 2.2.0 hanging when trying to scan a host that was down?
Works fine for me.
If I purposely put just one host as the target that does not exist, it takes about 56 minutes for the tests to fail and Nessus to return to a state that I can move around.
What sort of port scanner(s) are you using? Are you scanning UDP ports, by any chance?
If I have a list of hosts and have a host in the middle that is down, Nessus hangs when it gets to that host. Also, once it finally fails against the downed host, it aborts the rest of the scans, saves what it haves and quits.
You mean it doesn't scan the remaining hosts at all? What do you have for max_hosts? Mind sending snippets of the nessusd logs around the time this happens? George -- theall@tifaware.com
