RE: Plugin Dependency Not Working...

Yes flaws from this past Tuesday.  I have the direct feed plug-in, so I know i 
got the latest plugins.
 
What i meant by everything looked good is that it was actually detecting the 
plugin ID vulnerability on the systems Nessus was scanning.  Althought 
Microsoft categorized MS07-004 as a CRITICAL (High Priority), Nessus Plugin ID 
24000 only detects it as a Medium Warning.  But still it was detecting the 
medium status.
 
According to the nessusd logs, the scan was successful and there were no 
errors.  The reason I chose that subject line was because the only time I have 
seem something similar to this, is when you specifically tell your nessus 
client not to enable plugin dependency.  In my case I am.
 
I am just trying to look for causes in which my Nessus client would skip 
looking at the plugins, maybe because of authentication (which i 
double-checked), or some other dependency...
 
Thanks.

Situation:  I ran a full scan on my servers for the 3 latest
vulnerabilities that came out this week. 

Are you talking about the flaws Microsoft released patches for last Tuesday?

Everything works and looks
fine. 

What do you mean exactly?

Today when I re-ran the exact same scans/sessions, the scans are
not detecting any holes/warnings.  I cross-checked some systems and the
system shows that the patch has not been applied, but Nessus doesn't
even recognize it.

What do the nessusd logs say? Does your choice of subject line reflect
an error you're seeing?
