HI,
I have tried the following command, but I think there is a problem with gunzip I don't think it is unzipping the file properly.

Do you have tar installed?
You can also run nessus-update-plugins -vv
For more detailed verbose mode for troubleshooting.

Thanks, I had to install wget and put PATH in the nessus-update-plugins
file. But I have another problem here when I run the following command:
#./nessus-update-plugins -v
--18:30:30-- http://www.nessus.org/nasl/all-2.0.tar.gz
=> `all-2.0.tar.gz.1'

Now is there something that I am missing here which is causing this
error msg to popup, please let me know.
