windows-based nessus ignores host exclusion rules

Subject: windows-based nessus ignores host exclusion rules
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 14:28:54 -0400 
Hello everybody,

So I do have the latest and greatest nessus scanner for Windows (3.0.5) and
I am using it with nessj front end.

However, I have noticed that when I apply a "reject xx.xx.xx.xx" rule, the
xx.xx.xx.xx host still gets scanned. In other words- the scanner ignores the
rules.

Looking in the Nessus log I see this:

2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, <|> CLIENT
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, CLIENT <|> RULES <|>
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, reject 10.1.1.10
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, <|> CLIENT
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, CLIENT <|> LONG_ATTACK <|>
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, 14
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Client, 10.1.1.10,
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> PREFERENCES_ERRORS <|>
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Server, <|> SERVER
2007-04-05 14:02:48 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> TIME <|> SCAN_START <|> Thu
Apr 05 14:02:48 2007 <|> SERVER
2007-04-05 14:02:53 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> TIME <|> HOST_START <|>
10.1.1.10 <|> Thu Apr 05 14:02:53 2007 <|> SERVER
2007-04-05 14:02:53 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> TIME <|> HOST_START <|>
10.1.1.10 <|> Thu Apr 05 14:02:53 2007 <|> SERVER
2007-04-05 14:02:54 -0400, Server, s:a:10.1.1.10:1:3149
2007-04-05 14:02:57 -0400, Server, s:a:10.1.1.10:32:3149
2007-04-05 14:03:00 -0400, Server, s:a:10.1.1.10:65:3149
2007-04-05 14:03:03 -0400, Client, CLIENT <|> STOP_WHOLE_TEST <|> CLIENT
2007-04-05 14:03:04 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> TIME <|> SCAN_END <|> Thu Apr
05 14:03:04 2007 <|> SERVER
2007-04-05 14:03:04 -0400, Server, SERVER <|> BYE <|> BYE <|> SERVER


I can see that the rule "reject 10.1.1.10 is passed to the server, but the
scan still occurs. Any ideas?

Thank you
AJ
