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

Thank you Josh. Here is discussion from yesterday..

Yes, nmap.out is in grepable format.
The point is that I don't want to port scan with Nessus portscanner
cause it gives me false positives. That is why I want to use Nmap as
port scanner for Nessus. So the question is how to enable Nmap as port
scanner in case of yours proposed list of hosts ("single host, IP,
subnet, or comma
seperated list") with commandline nessus. 

I think we can make big contribution to the community if we clarify that
subject.

The targets file needs to be a single host, IP, subnet, or comma
seperated list. I think the nmap.out file that you are using is not
formatted correctly.
