A while back I remember somebody asked if "dangerous" plugins were
disabled when safe checks was selected.  He was told that all plugins
that had the category of denial, destructive_attack, kill_host, and
flood were disabled server side (
http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2005-March/msg00196.html ). 
Looking at the plugins there are a few that seem to make this approach
not work quite right.  For example 14655 is in the denial category, but
also has a safe_checks option in it.  So it seems like the safe_check
code would never run since all denial plugins are disabled if safe
checks is on.  Is there some special flag to not disable plugins in
these categories that have the safe_checks option in plugin code?

Other examples I've run into are 17602 and 14654.

Thanks
