Thanks! I had to modify the script to point directly to wget because fetchcmd="wget" didn't work.
Not it says it has problems unzipping the file. But it should be an easy fix.

Actually, that is a not a good way to update Nessus' plugins on your Linux box either. You will only be as recent as the Debian package, while Nessus plugins are actually updated daily. Nonetheless, the answer is really simple (for both your Linux and BSD boxes): nessus-update-plugins. It is a script that does exactly what its name suggests. It is part of the standard Nessus install. ~Jay -- .. .. Jay Jacobson .. Edgeos, Inc. - 480.961.5996 - http://www.edgeos.com .. .. Network Security Auditing and ..
