Nessus 3.2 issue

Subject: Nessus 3.2 issue
Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 15:41:40 -0400
Has anyone seen this?

I'm running the Nessus 3.2 server on Freebsd 6.3 (upgraded from 3.0.6  
and 6.2 freshly), and the 3.2 client on OS X 10.5.2.

I can connect to the remote server with the client fine, and it shows  
up in both a netstat and a ps -aux on the server without issue.  The  
problem happens when I begin a scan--nessusd churns heavily for about  
5 seconds and then drops to 0% CPU usage, and the client either  
receives no results at all, or just a few things greyed out.  I'm  
running the same set of policies that I was under 3.0.6, and made a  
few new ones, turning off pingers, trying different portscanners, etc,  
to see if I could nail down the problem, but to no avail.

One interesting point, I did try nessuscmd on the server with the same  
results---it throws up a few open ports and the number of a hit module  
or two, but it never exits.

Any ideas?

Thanks,




James
