  I've noticed both with Nesses 2.2.6 and Nessus 3, that under
Debian 3.1 (and also some versions of RHL) that when nmap is chosen as
the port-scanner, and you specify some nmap scanning options, such as
a FIN scan, you still only always get the default SYN scan.


This kind of scan is disabled in "safe checks".
Anyway, running Nessus from Nmap is not a good idea. Current Nmap
versions eat too much memory for each process.
The right way to do it is to run it by hand and import the result
(create the file with nmap -oG your_file your_options)
I would even say that running Nmap is a bad option in any
case. nessus_tcp_scanner is quicker in most circumstances.
