-oG looks better because I planned to remove most of C plugins by implementing popen and a couple of other horrors for "safe plugins". i.e. nmap_wrapper will be rewritten in NASL sooner or later. > For these reasons, I recommend that Nessus integrate with Nmap using > the XML API. Writing a XML parser in NASL would be an interesting experience :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arboi.da.ru FAQNOPI de fr.comp.securite http://faqnopi.da.ru/
