Nessus users, how to see a list, delete one or more

Subject: Nessus users, how to see a list, delete one or more

Hello everyone,

I am tasked in my organization to set up a nessus server and put it in
sort of a auto-pilot mode to scan our critical servers as well as doing
ad-hoc scans at management's will. I have installed nessus a while back
on a linux (RHEL AS4 running on a virtual server) machine. At the time I
have created the initial user and using the windows client, I have done
few scans. 

All was fine and dandy until now. Come almost 2 months later, I need to
put this into a, what I presume, batch mode to do scans invoked by cron.
But, can't remember neither the user name nor the password assigned. I
have trolled the archives but everything I found is from at least 4-5
years ago, and not even the file names are accurate anymore.

Could someone please tell me :

1. how can I list the nessus users on this system

2. finding out the user names, how can I delete them

3. if I want to keep one or more users, how can I assign new passwords
to them ?

Thank you in advance.

Mel
