Hy, to enable specific plugins, you can create a .nessusrc file for each os. For example, on nessus server you create a user call unix and another win2000. After you start nessus wtih each user and enable specific plugins. You obtain a nessusrc file with the plugins you want to test. Finally, you can to a php web frontend to start your specific scan.
I hope this will help you. Excuse for my bad english, please.

How can we do this:- 1) Using Nmap(3.00 version, -O option) we will come to know target machine's operating system and version. 2) We can enable only those plugins specific to target machine's operating system. ( If we integrate this idea to Nessus Server (Default configuration) it will be easy ) Instead of checking for more then 800 vulnerabilities for every machine ,we can reduce to few hundreds ,Comments, suggestions greatly appreciated! rambus ________________________________________________________________________ Missed your favourite TV serial last night?
