Several Nessus Jobs Remain Active Indefinitely

Subject: Several Nessus Jobs Remain Active Indefinitely
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 09:33:25 -0400
Hi there --

I noticed that several jobs have remained running indefinitely. Here is a
listing of what I observed when I did a ps -ef |grep nessus check:

Nessusd: serving 127.0.0.1
Nessusd: testing <hostname1>
Nessusd: testing <hostname2>
Nessusd: testing <hostname2>(/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/find_service.nes)
Nessusd: testing <hostname>(/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/find_service.nes)

I normally scan about eleven hosts and only hostname1 and hostname2 appear to be
involved in this situation. The only change that took place recently was the
operating system of the nessus system is running Fedora Core 2 and the up2date
utility was run to bring its file versions, including the kernel, up to the
latest version. The system was rebooted, and it appeared that Nessus was running
properly. The version of Nessus on the system is 2.2.3. Has anyone seen this and
know what's going on? Thanks.
