I am using Fedora 8 with the latest non-beta versions of Nessus and the Nessus Client installed. I was wondering if there was a command that I could run to force Nessus to update its plugins or to show the date of the last update. When I run /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --check I do get the "nessus-fetch is properly configured to receive a Registered feed" response, and in nessusd.conf the auto_update option is set to "yes", but I would like to verify myself that the latest plugins are installed. In Nessus for Windows there is an excellent Plugins Update Wizard that gives the user the control to download and install the latest plugins. Is there something like this in the Nessus version for Linux? Nessus 2 allowed you to run the nessus-update-plugins command but I don't think this exists in Nessus 3. I would appreciate a clarification on this topic. Thank you very much. _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail®-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx
