Hi there

I'm running Nessus-3.03 under CentOS4 (and also FC5) and I cannot get a
scan to give any detail in the results any more.


e.g. Scanning an IP with an Apache Webserver now just returns "A web
server was found" instead of all the detail about suspected version
number, webapps found/etc. Similarly scanning a Qmail server used to say
it found Qmail - now it says "A smtp server was found" :-( Actually it
does return the banner check - but no guessing that it's Qmail (i.e.
smtpscan.nasl doesn't seem to be working, even though I see it loaded,
launched and finished in the logs)

You probably want to check in Nessusd.messages is the whole scan took place and if anything wrong happened. Given the info you're giving us, it seems that find_service.nes runs but nothing else. Is there anything in nessusd.dump ?


You may also want to try to flush and recreate your plugin database, by doing nessusd -R
