You can submit a plugin to plugins-writers@ for the plugin to see. The list of the plugins written on our side will be publically available through http://www.nessus.org/scripts.php. Of course there's a small window of potential submission conflicts (ie: a plugin is submitted while we're working on it), but in the past there has been very little conflicts. -- Renaud _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
