Hi list,
I was just wondering why nessus is doin this. I start a scan on the command line like this


nessus -T nbe -c configfile localhost 1241 user password hostsfile output.nbe

while before the scan the file permissions are 755

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  118800 Sep  8 11:23 soft_nessusrc

after the scan it is 600.

-rw-------  1 root root  118800 Sep  8 11:23 soft_nessusrc

Btw I use Nessus 2.2.4 on a Debian Sarge installation.
I discovered nessus doing this when I tried to analyze why the reports show that no host was up for a specific IP address.


nmap -sV -P0 host

shows one open port. But nessus with the attached config can't find it.

Hi,

Which port is really open?
What port range you do have defined for nmap in nessusd.conf?
