I mentioned this a while back but didn't see anyone respond.. Without the 
option for disabling dangerous plugins how can someone enable some specific 
dangerous plugins along with the safe ones without going through a long manual 
checking process. 

Old method:
--------------
Disable All
Enable All but dangerous
manually turn on specific dangerous plugins (1 or 2)
run with safe checks turned off to allow specific ones to run.

The filtering is done on the nessusd side. Look at
nessus-core/nessusd/attack.c :

if(preferences_safe_checks_enabled(preferences) && 
        (category == ACT_DESTRUCTIVE_ATTACK ||
         category == ACT_KILL_HOST ||
         category == ACT_FLOOD ||
         category == ACT_DENIAL))



Have a good week,
