Not to detract from your patch, but people need to keep in mind that plugins categorized as something other than dangerous can still cause problems. Recall, for example, the various threads about equipment crashing in the face of simple port scans. Additionally, understand that plugins in the mixed_attack category can be dangerous if safe_checks is disabled. Oh, one last thing, realize that installing nessus-plugins causes *all* categories of plugins to be installed and that nessus-update-plugins doesn't remove plugins, only adds / modifies them.
