Well I'd suggest reading a primer or two, the ones on Securityfocus.com are pretty good.

(I know, who RTFMs these days..) I've read the FAQ and the man page and mostly understand them, but what I'm really trying to learn is what the choices on the preferences tab mean and how they affect how nessus and the plug-ins run. What are the ramifications of making certain choices and combinations of choices. I'm sure it's not the best idea to just check everything on the page and let it rip. Is there a more thorough manual somewhere that I've missed? man/info pages besides just for nessus/nessusd? Thanks for your assistance, Wayne _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
