Currently, there isn't much in the way of documentation on the client
config file, at least that I'm aware of. You can glean some info from a
post Renaud made to the list last month:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06354.html
Also, there was talk in December about putting together a resource
documenting the configuration options; eg, cross-referencing options
between the GUI and .nessusrc, considerations about enabling, how they
impact scans, etc. Jay Jacobson at Edgeos was spearheading the effort
and in a message to the mailing list early last month estimated it would
be ready in February. Perhaps he'll chime in with a revised update.
By the way, as far as enabling / disabling plugins, you might take a
look at one of the update-nessusrc scripts:
http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/
This is a perl script I wrote.
http://www.edgeos.com/software/
This is a Python script written by Edgeos.
Both let you enable / disable plugins via a commandline interface,
although I'd like to think mine offers finer-grain control.
