I will need to check the max_checks settings, but I didn't change it, so it
should be set to the default.  I should have mentioned this before, but for
the test, the input file only has one host in it (which is resolvable via
DNS).

I saw your "killall -USR2 nessusd" on another post and did try that before I
posted, but that did not appear to do anything.  The nessusd services where
all still running.  A "ps -ef" before and after the killall showed the same
things.  Am I doing something wrong?  I checked the man page for killall,
but found nothing related to "-USR2".

Thanks for helping.

I just installed Nessus 3.0.1 and NessusClient 1.0.0 RC4 on SUSE 10.

It seems that if I run NessusClient on one host or run /opt/nessus/
bin/nessus on just one host, it scans the host but never finishes.
It just hangs there.


-> Which value did you set for max_checks ? If it's set too high (ie:
above 10), reduce the value and try again. 4 checks in parallel
should be enough anyways.

-> do a 'killall -USR2 nessusd' and send me what's in /opt/nessus/var/
nessus/logs/

Thanks,
