George,

In regards to the double plugin entry:

 > end(PLUGIN_SET)
 >
 > begin(PLUGINS_PREFS)
That was a poor cut and paste from me, there is just the one section.


In regards to the nessus version, I don't understand that either. I did 
install 3.0.1 initially but upgraded that to the 3.0.6 version and the 
this Nessusclient version because it can export nessusrc format.  Maybe 
these entries are a result of not removing the 3.0.1 version before 
installing the 3.0.6 version, or maybe some version strings have not 
been updated in nessus, or maybe it is as simple as restarting nessus, I 
really don't know ?

In regards to the ssl settings I have for "Test SSL based services : 
Known SSL ports". So that should be fine.

As I recall Nessus always reports open ports, regardless of whether 
nessus has something to tell about that port or actually finds something 
on that port or not. Or has this behaviour changed and does Nessus not 
report on an open port if there is no finding against it ?

Would you mind sending me a copy of the config file as well as a KB for 
a target, both sanitized of any sensitive info?

Nessus should report open ports as long as they fall in the specified 
port range.
