Hi there,
have you allready check the Nessus Options? There is one point where you can say: "Include all plug-ins" or "Just -not dangerous- plug-ins" (or something like that) ... if you use the full options, Nessus also performs DoS Attacks, and maybe crashes one of your still running deamons. Seems to be an importent deamon ... if the box crashes down ...
shouldn't happen, too. The scanning program can't be made responsible for
failures on the remote side.
Unfortunately, it seems difficult to reproduce. Can you please send in the
logfile, and the syslogd from the target that are a result of the scan?
Roman.
