In nessusd.messages I get for all hydra_xxx.nasl the same message: 
Not
launching hydra_xxx.nasl ....because the key Secret/hydra/logins_file

But there are entries for the Logins and Password files in the
Linux-GUI-Client under Prefs./Hydra (NASL wrappers options).

Do those entries point to valid files on the nessusd host?

George

Yes, the entries point to valid files. The files have one entry per line. The 
PATH to hydra is right, too.

At first I tried it only with the plugin-group "Brute force attacks". I looked 
for the dependencies of the plugin 15872 (named "Hydra: FTP") and enabled all 
necessary plugins. But I never saw any result-message in the nessus-output.

Then I tried it again and enabled all plugins. With this configuration I didn't 
get the message "launching hydra_xxx.nasl ....because the key 
Secret/hydra/logins_file", but I didn't get any spezific hydra-messages,too. 
But I know about two ftp-accounts where username and password are identical. 
The script of hydra_ftp.nasl (plugin 15872) show me, that I should get a 
message like: Hydra was able to break the following FTP accounts: .....
 
When I start hydra from the commandline without nessus, hydra show me the two 
missed ftp-accounts.  

For information: I use the OS Linux 9.3, Nessus 2.2.6 and hydra 5.0.
