I did look through the nbe file and there is no trace of the comments.
Nessusd must have ignored the line.


Thanks for your time!

I don't recall that as being OK. It _turns out_ OK, because no computer
resolves with such names, but you should definitely remove the comments
before you pass the file to nessusd.

ie:

grep -v ' *#.*' targets.txt > targets_nessus.txt nessus -q localhost ...
targets_nessus.txt report.nbe rm targets_nessus.txt
