This happens every other time I try to edit the config file by hand
1) rm -rf .nessusrc
2) to create new .nessusrc (all default settings)
[root@localhost ~]# NessusClient -T nbe -qx localhost 1241 spate spate
/root/testtarget /root/test.nbe
* this scan runs fine
3) edit .nessusrc (no ping host but run synscan.nes)
change plugin 10180 to no
change plugin 10335 to no
change plugin 11219 to yes
change 'Do a TCP ping' to no
and that's it
4)
[root@localhost ~]# NessusClient -T nbe -c /root/.nessurc -qx localhost
1241 spate spate /root/testtarget /root/test.nbe
Segmentation fault
[root@localhost ~]# cat .nessusrc
[root@localhost ~]#
*wipes out the entire file
5)

I have tried using different name for config file (i.e nessusconfig) but
the same thing happens.
