Port scan results

Subject: Port scan results
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 12:33:33 -0500
At some point I apparently changed a setting in nessus such that I no longer
get a summary of open ports in the report, even when I run a scan with all
plugins enabled. I've combed through the options and can't find anything.
The closest I've come is when using NessusClient the Services Detection
(Second Pass) plugin reports that its dependency (Service Detection) is
disabled.

My scans are normally commandline and the reports are saved in nbe format. I
still get service identification per vulnerability reporting, but not port
detection. What I mean is I get results like the following:

results|xxxx.xxx.xxx|xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx|microsoft-ds
(445/tcp)|10400|Security Note|the whole message

But I don't see lines like:

results|xxxx.xxx.xxx|xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx|microsoft-ds (445/tcp)|||

(At least, as best as I can remember that is what the port detection lines
look like).

I have made various changes to configuration files but as I don't know when
these stopped appearing I'm really not certain what change is responsible.
And as noted I've looked and am just not seeing an option to correct this.

Any ideas?
