Subject: feeding nmap results to nessus using NASL in config file

I am setting up a scan. If I enable the nmap -o (os fingerprint flag).
Even 
if I enable all nessus plugins for example will nessus only run the
pluggins 
based on what nmap returns as OS detection? To recap if I enable nessus 
redhat and windows plugins. If nmap comes back with an os of windows. I
only 
want nessus to run the windows plugins. Is this the default behaviour or
is 
there something I have to do?



thanks

I haven't found a way for nessus to do this, but what we ended up doing
is running nmap with OS detection, confirming windows machines with
xprobe2, and putting the ip in a separate text file.  We'd then launch 2
scans, one with all plugins except windows, and one with only general
and windows specific plugins using the 2 text file as the source lists.
