Hi Doug,

It looks like your registration process either never happened, had an error, 
is being prevented by a proxy or some other reason.

When you get an update, the NASLs won't necessarily have today's date on them, 
but they won't be as old as 2008-01-02 either.

I suggest re-registering and paying close attention to any logs or error 
messages to see what the issue is.

One more thing -- what is in the contents of your plugin_feed_info.inc file?

Hi Ron,

I just upgraded Nessus from 3.0.x (Fedora 7) to 3.2 (Fedora 8) and I 
re-registered with a new activation code. I then ran the ls -lt | more command 
in /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins and verified that nearly all the plugins are 
dated 3-18-08 (some are a little older). So it seems like my problem is at 
least temporarily resolved. In a few weeks, I will check to make sure that my 
plugins are automatically updating. If they still date from 3/18, I will get in 
touch with you again but hopefully that won't be necessary.

To answer your question, the contents of my plugin_feed.inc file currently is:

PLUGIN_SET = "200803181734";
PLUGIN_FEED = "Registered (7 days delay)";

Thank you very much for your help and guidance.

Doug
