The second one is likely the result of NessusClient creating a preference file because one didn't exist when you fired it up. That is, look at preferences_new() in: http://cvsweb.nessus.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/NessusClient/nessus/preferences.c?rev=1.7&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup There's one additional scanner, which would be because that exists on your nessusd host. [The client will add plugins to a config file that exist on the nessusd host but won't remove them.] As for the first, it could be that NessusClient doesn't really "create" a config file. That is, preferences_new() is only called if the file doesn't exist; there's no check on size, though, so if, say, the file exists but is empty, NessusClient would only put those scanners in the file that it finds on the server.
