 Hi Ron,

I'm sorry to report that I again ran the ls -lt | more command in 
/opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins and the plugins that were present when I 
installed Nessus 3.2 have not been updated. As of today (3/31) they are still 
dated 3/18, and I have been online often in different locations with the Nessus 
service running which should have updated the plugins. 

Have the plugins been updated since 3/18 as I suspect, or do I have the latest 
ones?

When I enter the command ps -ax | grep nessus, I get this output:

 3300 ?        S      0:00 nessusd: nessusd-update : idle
 3301 ?        Ss     0:00 nessusd: waiting for incoming connections

Does this mean anything to you? Is there a shell command to force a plugin 
update? Thanks.
