Nikto Result Problem When Nikto is Integrated in Nessus

Hi all,

I have a problem about the nikto result in the nessus report. Altough I
search nessus mail list I couldnt answer my problem.

My problem is that sometimes I obtain nikto result in nessus report
sometimes I can't.There is no stable nikto result altough similar scannin
configuration.

I use following nessus client:

-NessWX
-NessusClient (BoSS product)
-Nessj
-Also I write simple client which is written in C#

I try to find reasons of nikto results' unstabilities.

Firstly I choose only nikto.nasl ( but I choose auto enable dependecies in
configuration)

I obtain only nikto result in Nessj, but I obtain some result but not nikto
result in other clients.

Secondly I choose all CGI abuses plugin family including nikto.nasl

I sometimes obtain nikto result ,sometimes I can't in all clients.

Finally I choose all plugins.

 Also, I sometimes obtain nikto result, sometimes I can't.

When I look at the nessus logs.I see that :

if I obtain nikto result ---->  nikto.nasl finished its job in .... (more
times such as 300.23)
if  I can not obtain nikto result----> nikto.nasl finished its job in 0.0000or
0.002 ( less time)

I give more timeout time in the configuration file but the porblem is not
solved.

I try many change in the configuration, but I could not find the reason of
my problem.

Can you help me?
