I have a nessus server running OpenBSD 3.7 (on sparc64) - last month I ran a
couple of test on my hosted web-server, both from my desktop using the
Nessus Console and as a batch job one the OpenBSD server itself (nessus -T
xml -qx .) - it all worked fine.
Since then, I've upgraded the nessus 2.2.2 that came with the OpenBSD
distrib to nessus 2.2.6, and even though the compilation and installation
went absolutely fine, when I run the test again I get the following:
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:39 2005][13599] ssh_settings.nasl (process 27839) finished
its job in 0.089 seconds
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:39 2005][13599] user nessuser : launching labrea.nasl
against [my_host] [25855]
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:46 2005][13599] labrea.nasl (process 25855) finished its
job in 7.601 seconds
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:46 2005][13599] user nessuser : launching ping_host.nasl
against [my_host] [26091]
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][13599] ping_host.nasl (process 26091) finished
its job in 3.021 seconds
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][13599] user nessuser : launching
TLD_wildcard.nasl against [my_host] [25923]
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][13599] user nessuser : The remote host
([my_host]) is dead
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][13599] Finished testing [my_host]. Time : 11.23
secs
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][29372] user nessuser : test complete
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:49 2005][29372] user nessuser : Nothing interesting found
- deleting the session
[Mon Dec 5 16:57:50 2005][29372] Total time to scan all hosts : 13 seconds
Now, I know for a fact that the host is not dead, which in my mind is
further confirmed by the fact that labrea.nasl and ping_host.nasl did not
report the problem - I've increased the timeouts in nessusd.conf, but with
no success.
Has anybody got an idea of what the problem is, or how I could do some
further investigations?
Thanks for the help,
