This is a Nessus 2.1.0 novelty (please bear in mind that Nessus 2.1.x is
considered as unstable at this time, and potentially dangerous. Use the
2.0.x branch if you want stability).
"trusted" scripts will have the ability to execute local commands
(calling nikto, nmap, whatever). This will facilitate the inclusion of
third-party programs by avoiding to create a .nes plugins for each of
them (which is painful to maintain and bug-prone).
