You may want to upgrade now as Nessus 2.x versions < 2.2.9 may have problems with plugins in a few weeks; ie, see:


<http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus-announce/2007-May/msg00000.html>.

When I scan with only the "build-in" Plugins, nessus do an portscan
bevor all other checks and scan only found hosts. If I use the plugins
of the registered Feed, nessus do no (visible) portscan and checks the
whole network, also non existend hosts.

The lines from nessusd.messages that you included in your message aren't helpful in diagnosing your problem. They just show Nessus starting one scan and launching plugins in the Settings family (eg, ssh_settings.nasl, .. dont_scan_settings.nasl). These plugins are always launched and just update settings in each target host's KB but don't actually send any packets.

Are you able to show the log lines from scans before and after updating plugins? And perhaps with lines relating to the scanning plugins that you've configured?
