We have been running nessus 2.0.10 on Fedora Core 2 without problem for a couple of months.
Today after running nessus-update-plugins (which completed successfully), I ran nessusd -D and received the following errors: # nessusd -D syntax error, unexpected IDENT[16640]() Parse error at or near line 66 /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/basilix_message_content_script_injection.nasl could not be loaded syntax error, unexpected IDENT[16640]() Parse error at or near line 60 /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/simple_form_mail_relaying.nasl could not be loaded syntax error, unexpected IDENT[16640]() Parse error at or near line 70 /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/squirrelmail_143.nasl could not be loaded [16640](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/rsync_path_sanitation_vuln.nasl) Undefined function 'get_pot_state' syntax error, unexpected IDENT[16640]() Parse error at or near line 83 /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/basilix_arbitrary_file_disclosure.nasl could not be loaded ERROR !

I ran a test scan and it appears to have completed successfully. Is there a problem with the plugins that cannot be loaded or has something gotten corrupted in my nessus install/config files or plugins directory? Your help is greatly appreciated. We're still fairly new to nessus, but it has been serving us extremely well. Thank you.
