So, would exporting /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins to a Nessus box allow the Nessus box to see whatever plugins are in the exported filesystem?
As I think about this some more, I'm not sure this will work -- nessusd creates a cache of each plugins description when it reads them and stores the cache in the subdirectory ".desc" under the plugins directory. The code doesn't do any locking when it does this, will probably lead to problems as various instances of nessusd try to write and read those files. George -- theall@tifaware.com
