The best would be to have a look at George Theall's update-nessusrc. <http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/> The config file is divided in sections: - The server prefs : these are the options which are sent back to the nessus daemon. They are all documented on the nessusd side - see /usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf - the scanner set sections : the list of port scanners that are enabled by the user. You can merge this section within PLUGIN_SET, because scanners are plugins - the plugin set : the list of plugins which are enabled/disabled. The format is <id> = [yes|no]. - the server_info section is un-necessary, it simply contains information about the last nessusd you connected to (this is used for XML export) - the plugins_prefs section acts like the SERVER_PREFS section, except that very few options are thoroughly documented. However the most important ones (like SMB password) should be self-explanatory. -- Renaud _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
