Well, I humbly suggest an answer would be to use my update-nessusrc
script to enable all types of plugins.
Speaking of the FAQ, perhaps you would also consider adding something along
the lines of:

Q. I'm trying to use nessus-mkcert to generate a server cert yet it
fails with a message that reads in part:
xxxx:error:0D11A0A3:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_copy:string too
long:a_mbstr.c:154:maxsize=64
What's wrong?
A. The hostname for your machine is longer than 36 characters. This
presents a problem when nessus-mkcert tries to generate a certificate
request, since it uses the string "Certification Authority for " plus
the hostname for the attribute organizationalUnitName, which by default
is restricted to 64 characters. A work-around is to edit nessus-mkcert
and globally remove the strings " for $hostname"; there are two places
it's actively used - once with the certificate authority and another
with the server certificate.
