You need to create a new session. Once you create a session, right click on it and then choose properties. Set all you roptions (and be sure to enable the plugins) then click OK. At this point, right click the session and choose execute.

I then connected to the server with username and password (the username and password i created with 'nessus-adduser' and the IP of the redhat box). I created the user as root. How do i know if it's a super user? Here is what my windows client outputs once i've connected: -------------------------------------------------------- SSL connection using DES-CBC3-SHA Using < NTP/1.2 > Connection with the server [x.x.x.x] established. 1242 plugins loaded 149 preferences received 0 rules received ---------------------------------------------------------- How do i actually start a scan from here? I don't see any options in the toolbar menu for my nessus client. Is it because there are no rules? >From: "T.H.
