Hello,

I've a problem with latest version of Nessus and any previous version too.
Presently I'm using version 2.2.5 and I've compiled from source. Compiled
and installed with success nessus-libraries, libnasl, nessus-core, and
nessus-plugins. Once compilation was done, I've created a user and passwd
with the 'nessus-adduser' command with success. Loaded Nessus daemon
without SSL support to avoid the steps to create certificate at this time,
and tested if I can connect to it localy and remotely, since now
everything is going well, I can connect localy or remotely. Therefore I
decided to start a scan on one host (172.16.1.1) and this take a days and
doesn't finish to execute. I used the following command line to do it from
command line -> nessus -q localhost 1241 username passwd targets.txt
result.txt. The command never finish even after 4 days!! on ONE host only,
so I presume there is a problem here and decided to do it again (the scan)
from a GUI software on Windows. The result was the same, never finished to
execute after 4 days!!!

Does someone here know what is going on, what is the problem?

Gerhard,
