FW: How to use Nessus 3.0.3 (Linux) with Nmap port scanning

Thank you Josh and Patrice for the advice.

Nmap.nasl is in /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins and nmap is in the PATH.

I made grepable output of nmap with 'nmap -O -sS -sU -oG nmap.out [IP
addresses]'

Then feed upper result in nessus with ' nessus -V -T text -q localhost
1241 user/pass nmap.out scan.log '

And the result is

===================================================

Nessus Scan Report
------------------



SUMMARY

 - Number of hosts which were alive during the test : 0
 - Number of security holes found : 0
 - Number of security warnings found : 0
 - Number of security notes found : 0

===================================================

In case of using Nessus port scanner I don't get that results.

What else I have to configure. May be fine tune something in nessusrc?

Thank you.
