My nessusd is v3.0.2 for linux. I've tried copying the missing *.nes files to the plugin folder and it seemed to work fine. THANKS!!!!

Good. Perhaps they were somehow deleted -- they should have been included in the initial install.


- Aren't the rest of the port scanner plugins in the port scanner family considered as Port Scanner as well?

Yes.

- I did 2 tests by disabling the port scanner plugin family( the 2 plugin were missing then) and later enabling the family. there is no difference in the results were identical. I'm not sure why this is so.
Am I missing something here?

Perhaps "Consider unscanned ports as closed" was not checked. Perhaps the configuration retrieves info on ports from the KB... It's hard to say with the info you've provided.
