I use Suse 10, Nessus 3.0.2 and the NessusClient. For some reason my nessus scans have not reported on any vulnerabilities for months. I have scanned against unpatched windoes servers to test it and it just comes back with a few ports open.
What exactly does Nessus report? Last Friday you claimed "Nessus scanner never reports on anything anymore ... even on just a port scan" (see <http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2006-May/msg00065.html>). And what is being shown in nessusd.messages? Also, are you providing Nessus with valid credentials so that it can actually do local checks on your Windows servers?
Sometimes it misses ports, though the independant nmap shows all the correct ports.
Specific examples of the descrepancies would be helpful. Also, have you looked at packet captures to see what nessusd is sending and/or what a target is receiving?
