Re: NASL 3.0 Documentation

Thanks for the reply.  I think I've found what I was looking for.  In
the ntp doc's folder there's a file called ntp_extensions.txt.  There's
an additinal preference called "ntp_short_status".  Still looking at
this documentation it's for Nessus 1.3.x.  Have any changes been made
since then?  I've even looked in my Nessus Network Auditing book and
can't anything new there either.

Thanks,
Dave King
