Hello

I ran "updatecmd.exe" on my Win XP box / Nessus 3.06.1 buildW321   
and got :


        
 Installed 11284 of 15457 plugins smbshell.nbin[3364.3364]
This is not a Nessus plugin

          
version problem ?

        
No. smbshell.nbin is not a standard plugin and is not part of the   
plugin feed.

      
Well, in this case from where does it come?
I use the "registered" plugin-feed
    


I suppose you downloaded it from http://cgi.tenablesecurity.com/ 
tenable/smbshell.php and copied it in your Nessus plugin directory.

No , I just launched updatecmd.exe.;
I don't know to which site it's connecting, but I got the authentication 
pop-up from my proxy.
This shows that the config is OK and that I get back plugins from Tenable.
Hence my question about the version.
On the download site, there is no "sub-version" indication : just "3.0.6 
for Windows"

Here is the full output of this morning's update :
