I'm having a semi-similar issue. I'm using nessus 3.0.6 on Linux RH ES5.
If I run a scan from the box using the command line, I get similar
results as listed below (no port scanner was enabled during the scan).
If I connect to the scanner from a windows client and create a new
policy, I can see that the scanner is enabled. When I run the scan from
it, there are no issues. I've then tried exporting the policy from the
Windows client and using that on the command line in Linux. Result: no
port scanner was enabled during the scan. I know it has worked before,
but for some reason, it is not any longer.
Running all of my scans from the Windows client is not an option, so I
need to find out how to re-enable this functionality in the
command-line. I've compared .nessusrc files from previous scans and can
find no real differences that would be causing this.

Subject: no port scanner was enabled during the scan
Hello
I use nessus in text mode like this:
echo "2" | /usr/bin/nessus -q -T html_graph nessus_server 1241
nessus_user password $HOME/target_$TARGET_NET
$HOME/results_$TARGET-$DATE
The problem is that after receiving results for each host i receive
warning:
WARNING : no port scanner was enabled during the scan. This may
lead to incomplete results
i have plugin:
#ls -al /usr/lib/nessus/plugins/nmap.nasl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17510 Feb 18 09:03
/usr/lib/nessus/plugins/nmap.nasl
also:
scanner scan # cat /etc/nessus/nessusd.conf |grep default
# 'default' means that Nessus will scan ports found in its
port_range = default
nmap is working (from command line). No related errors in logs file.
I use nessusd 2.2.6.
Why nmap (or any other scanner) is not used ?
Thanx
