AFAIK you can't disable plugins on the server side so they are not being loaded at nessusd startup. What you can do is simply delete or move plugins (make sure nessusd is not running while doing that). If you use nessus-update-plugins all plugins will be installed again, so you have to repeat this step after each update. I'm not sure you want to do that :)
Btw. if you compiled from source, the plugin-set is to be found in /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/.
Maybe it would be quite more helpful if you move your nessus installation to a faster box? On my PIII-500 (server&client) with only 128 MB RAM I experience the same behavior like you. On a 2 GHz Athlon with 1 GB RAM the server loads fast and also the client login has only a short delay.

Hello I use Nessus to scan Apache server and therefore I only use about 30 plugins, but when initialising nessusd loads over 8000 of them and it takes a lot of time. What's more logging in by Nessus GUI takes about 5 minutes too, in which Nessus does not respond. How can I reduce the number of plugins (remove unused) and make it operate faster? Thanks in advance for advice Regards Peter _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
