In nessusd.messages, the log entry "Targets:" correctly reports X number of hosts. These X targets are all read from a file. When the scan finishes, I can find Y "dead" hosts in the log. However, the report generated lists Z hosts as "alive and responding", and Z < X-Y. How can this be ?
What do you see in the logs regarding the missing hosts? One possibility is that there is a rule preventing you from scanning them. Another is that Nessus did not find any open ports in the port range you specified for those hosts.
