If you're indeed willing to enable plugins that intentionally try to  
be destructive (for example, crashing a service or causing a kernel  
panic), then disable safe checks, either by setting 'safe_checks' to  
"no" in the client config or unchecking "Safe checks" in the client.

Why do you say "old"? I just updated it the other day after some  
feedback from Larry Petty.

As the error says, you need to set the variable 'nessusd_host' (and  
several others) in the script.  This is also noted in the installation  
instructions on the web page.
