Net::Nessus does not currently support notes. It shouldn't be all that
hard to add it, I haven't looked at it. One option may be to use the
ntp_client_accepts_notes preference. Another option I once used to
solve this problem is to treat notes as info's. It's kind of a kludge
but it worked for what I needed it to do. For example I believe
something like this would work in Net::Nessus::Message about line 140:
my $class = (ref($self) or $self);
$class =~ s/^\b(Client|Server)\b/Message/;
#####START ADDED
$type =~ s/NOTE/INFO/;
#####DONE WITH ADDED
$class .= "::$type";
$class->new($sock, $sender, $type, [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
Doing this should let all the NOTEs come through as INFOs, and may be
good enough to get you through until Net::Nessus is updated (which is
hasn't been for a couple of years).
Hope this helps some,
Laters,
Dave King
