Greetings,
While running a nessus scan my system clock runs dramatically slower,
such that by the end of the scan it may be behind by an hour or more.
The slowdown seems to coincide with nessus forking out 40+ processes as
it starts to run the tests. I've observed this behavior on multiple x86
machines here under OpenBSD. On the same hardware under NetBSD, the
problem does not occur. I've installed the 2.2.2a package, as well as
compiled the port.
My nessusd.conf file has max_hosts = 30, max_checks = 10, and be_nice =
no.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks,
Ryan Fox
