You probably enabled the "portscanner" plugin#34220 which causes some  
re-ordering and causes this bug.

In the short term, you should disable it if you want 'unscanned ports  
as closed to work'. Another option would be to keep it enabled, to  
disable the option "consider unscanned ports as closed" and edit  
nessusd.rules to prevent connecting to the ports you do not want to  
connect to.

ie:

reject 0.0.0.0/0:1024-65535

would forbid nessusd from connecting to these ports.


We'll fix that problem in 3.2.2.


Thanks,

					-- Renaud
