nessus-update-plugins and proxy

Subject: nessus-update-plugins and proxy
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2005 11:48:46 -0600
I just upgraded my nessus install to 2.2.3.  I entered the registration 
number during installation when prompted.   I went to run 
nessus-update-plugins and got the following error:

Could not resolve www.nessus.org
Could not retrieve the plugins MD5
Aborting

In the past we used a proxy and had the  .nessus-update-pluginsrc 
This file still exists with accurate settings.  I read the man page for 
nessus-update-plugins and it now says if you are behind a proxy, read the 
man page for nessus-fetch.  I cannot find the man page for nessus-fetch:

man nessus-fetch
man: No such file or directory
Failed to open the message catalog man on the path NLSPATH=<none>

No manual entry for nessus-fetch

# ls /usr/local/man*/*
/usr/local/man/man1:
nasl-config.1  nasl.1  nessus-build.1  nessus-config.1 
nessus-mkcert-client.1  nessus-mkrand.1  nessus.1  webalizer.1

/usr/local/man/man8:
nessus-adduser.8  nessus-mkcert.8  nessus-rmuser.8 nessus-update-plugins.8 
 nessusd.8


Please help, and thanks.
