Redhat 7.2 Nessus 1.2.7 I have a cronjob that has Nessus run only one plugin, i.e. bugbear. (Actually 2 because the bugbear plugin has 1 dependency). Anyhow, I run Nessus like this:
nessus --config-file=/root/.nessusbugbear ... .nessusbugbear has the options set that I wish and the 2 plugins I want to run set to yes, everything else is set to no. My problem: When the cronjob starts and Nessus begins doing its thing, my configuration file changes. Options are set that I did not set and instead of the 2 plugins enabled, there are now 90 enabled. This used to work fine (months) and now I can't keep the config options from changing. This happened under 1.2.3 and I uninstalled that version and upgraded Nessus to 1.2.7, same thing happens. These unwanted plugins are causing problems on some machines. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on? I'm completely baffled. I know it must be something stupid I'm missing. Darren Evans-Young, The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, Alabama
