Pretty silly not to think of that... I think that will work appropriately for what I need since the other plugins complain about things not working right; like the smb_registry_full_access complaining if it can't get full access. I used security_note to post that mcaffee is up and running properly. I think that will be good enough. _______________________________________________ Plugins-writers mailing list Plugins-writers@private http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/plugins-writers
