I don't think this will work, at least with the unix-based nessus
client.  fast_login causes the server to skip sending the PLUGIN_LIST
message.  The nessus client, though, expects to receive this message
immediately after authenticating and will hang because it's not being
sent.

The only existing "client" that supports fast_login, as far as I know,
is the Perl module Net::Nessus::ScanLite.
