It is possible, just edit the nessus-update-plugin skript and you will find it
is a simple shell skript that does the following:
1) download the file http://www.nessus.org/nasl/all-1.4.tar.gz
2) untar it, be carefull, all files are in toplevel dir
tar xvfz ./all-1.4.tar.gz
3) copy files to plugins dir
cp *.nasl $libdir/nessus/plugins/
cp *.inc $libdir/nessus/plugins/
4) change the ownership
chown 0 $libdir/nessus/plugins/*.nasl
chgrp 0 $libdir/nessus/plugins/*.inc
5) get the pid of your Nessusd parent (so the process you startet first)
and
HUP it or just redstart it if possible. If you skip this step, plugins
will
not be available. If you use cmd line, you have to update your
nessusrc
either to activet the plugins.
kill -1 $PID
But I do not understand why you want to do this on your own?
Kind regards
