Error in plugin_unlink - args == NULL

Subject: Error in plugin_unlink - args == NULL
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 12:04:07 -0700
Hello All,

I've installed nessus via the freebsd ports system, registered and successfully 
rau the
nessus-fetch executable, and successfully run nessus-update-plugins executable. 
 But when
I start the nessusd process I get the output included in <problem> section 
below for most
plugins.  The nessusd process loads properly but when I connect with the client 
I get only
6 plugins loaded.  Any help would be greatly appreciated (I've tried deleting 
the
/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/.descr directory but this did not help, deleting 
all configs
and reinstalling the ports from scratch).
