Newbie question: fetching plugins manually

Subject: Newbie question: fetching plugins manually
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2004 15:55:43 +0100
All,

At work we would like to use Nessus running on Solaris 8 to scan our intranet.
Everything (i.e. scans) works fine and I would like to update the plugins.

The problem is that machines on our intranet DO NOT have access to the
internet, not even through a proxy. Therefore nessus-update-plugins and
nessus-fetch will not work for me as I understand it and I must retrieve
plugins from my (Linux, or Windows if I really must) workstation and pass it
on to the Nessus-server. The workstation does have proxied access to internet.

Can anyone advise me on how to set something like this up?

Thanx!

Mich.
