Hi,

Where can I edit this functionality? I'm using it on
FreeBSD with gui NessuxWX on win2k machine.

Also, can anyone tell me more about the port scanners
properties? I noticed that they are disabled by
default. Also, when I run a scan via the command line,
it tells me something about the scan may not be
complete unless I enable the plugins that may crash a
system? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.
