Maybe the mail list software truncated it.  I'm stumped.  You have 
ping_host.nasl (10180) and synscan.nes (11219) enabled in the config 
you sent in the last email.  The following lines look right for what 
you're trying to do:

There is a weird line in the SERVER PREFS section: ping_hosts = no.  To 
be honest, I don't know what that controls.  My guess is that it's 
cruft that doesn't affect anything anymore.

How are you verifying that ping_host.nasl and synscan.nes are not 
starting?  By looking at the nessusd.messages file I assume?
