That's is why i'm directly creating a knowledgebase for the nessus

saved at the end of the scan.
Can anyone help with this?

i dont think the .nessusrc file allows you to tell the nessus server
not to portscan at all and also tell nessus which ports are open.
That's is why i'm directly creating a knowledgebase for the nessus
scan to use. This works fine, but an updated knowledge base is not
saved at the end of the scan.
