the NASL Wrapper are changed.

Where do I configure the other Nmap "instance"?


You seem to be using a very old version of Nessus


I stick with Debian here, and Debian has still 2.2.5.


with the old nmap_wrapper.nes plugin.


The installation itself is a tad older, and in fact has a coulple of
old files between the plugins pulled of the registered feed. Do you
recommend deleting /var/lib/nessus/plugins completely before pulling
new plugins?


You probably want to delete that one (or even better, upgrade to 2.2.6).


I need to talk to Javier why he didn't upgrade yet.

Greetings
Marc
