See http://bugs.nessus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596 :) The good news is that the NASL reference manual has already been updated to warn people about this (rather wierd IMHO) feature. In fact, it is a little bit in the future from an ordinary Nessus user's POV now because the "multiline" argument is not available in NESSUS_2_0 branch. --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile.
