RE: Nessus 2.2.6 does no portscan with all plugins

Could it be that he is doing an nmap scan and nmap.nasl is
missing?

You may want to upgrade now as Nessus 2.x versions <
2.2.9 may have
problems with plugins in a few weeks; ie, see:

The lines from nessusd.messages that you included in your
message aren't
helpful in diagnosing your problem. They just show Nessus
starting one
scan and launching plugins in the Settings family (eg,
ssh_settings.nasl, .. dont_scan_settings.nasl). These
plugins are always
launched and just update settings in each target host's KB
but don't
actually send any packets.

Are you able to show the log lines from scans before and
after updating
plugins? And perhaps with lines relating to the scanning
plugins that
you've configured?
