segmenation fault erases nessus config file

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:43:13 -0700

This happens every other time I try to edit the config file by hand
 
1) rm -rf .nessusrc
 
2) to create new .nessusrc (all default settings)
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# NessusClient -T nbe  -qx localhost 1241  spate spate /root/testtarget /root/test.nbe
 
* this scan runs fine
 
3) edit .nessusrc (no ping host but run synscan.nes)
 
change plugin 10180 to no
change plugin 10335 to no
change plugin 11219 to yes
change 'Do a TCP ping' to no
and that's it
 
4)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# NessusClient -T nbe -c /root/.nessurc -qx localhost 1241  spate spate /root/testtarget /root/test.nbe
Segmentation fault

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat .nessusrc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#
*wipes out the entire file

I have tried using different name for config file (i.e nessusconfig) but the same thing happens.
