Results Differ Between Unix & Windows Nessus

Subject: Results Differ Between Unix & Windows Nessus
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:04:24 -0500

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why scans performed against the same
Linux (RHEL 4) platform using both the Windows & Unix versions of Nessus
3 provide different results?

The Unix version results were:
Open ports : 6 
Low : 19 
Medium : 0 
High : 5

The Windows version results were:

Open ports : 6 
Low : 20 
Medium : 0 
High : 0

The biggest concern is that Linux identified 5 High vulnerabilities
while the Windows version did not identify any.  The high
vulnerabilities identified all related to updates to RH RPMs.  As far as
I can tell the same audit options were specified for both Nessus
versions.

Thank you for  any assistance you can offer.
