There is one named nessus-plugins-GPL-2.2.6.tar.gz, but that only contains plugins in the GPL feed, and the RedHat local security checks (redhat-RHSA-2000*.nasl) are not part of that. > but when I restart nessusd, I can not > find them in my nessus client. > > nessus.messages show all these plugins have been loaded, but in > /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/.desc I can not find these new added > plugins, what's wrong? It's hard to say... - If you're truly downloading nessus-plugins-GPL-2.2.6.tar.gz, they're not included. And while some were included as part of your 2.0.10 install, those released in the past 1.5 - 2 years are not. - If you have a registered / direct feed and are manually downloading plugin updates, it may very well be an issue with the older version of Nessus that you're using. In that case, I'd be happy to help once you upgrade to 2.2.4 or later.
