When nessusd starts, it compares the dates on nessus-services on one
hand and the services.* files on the other. If the latter don't exist or
are older, they're regenerated from the former. So, just add your
customizations to nessus-services, restart nessusd, and verify that the
timestamps on services.* have changed.

Note: you'll need some way to add your customizations back if you ever
update nessus-services, say by running the nessus-installer.
