Jeff,
Even though it isn't the most elegant solution, how about looking at the
history of that plug-in in CVS:

Subject: Plugin revisions
Is there any way to determine the revision history and date for a
plugin? I know this is listed for plugins on the "new scripts" page,
but not for plugins on the standard "plugins" page. I am interested in
this information because I ran a scan back in October a particular
plugin. Actions have been in place to correct machines identified with
this problem since then (not all have been corrected yet). I ran
another scan a few days ago and nessus returned three times the number
of problematic machines as the previous scan did. I'm wanting to check
if the plugin has been improved to catch some machines it was missing
and we have more machines with this problem than originally thought or
if some machines are patched but the plugin in flagging them as having
the problem. Looking at the script, there is a revision number. Any
ideas on how to correlate the plugin number, revision number and a date?
Thanks,
Jeff Heller
