   Does nessus/nessusd support special characters in user passwords?

What exactly do you mean by "special characters"? Are you talking about
unprintable characters or those like "\" or "/"? I'm not aware of any
restrictions in Nessus, although I'm sure there are in practice,
especially if you're referring to unprintable characters. 

Also, are passwords being stored by Nessus as plaintext or MD5 hashes?
Check for /usr/local/var/nessus/users/$user/auth/{hash,password} or
something similar.
