The client has no way of knowing what plugins a server has until it connects to it and receives a list. With a GUI client, normally this happens when you first authenticate; you could, though, launch a scan and then authenticate and you'd have the same behaviour as with the commandline client. > If this is incorrect, great - that's one step (which isn't as smooth > as one might like) we can drop! You could see whether my own update-nessusrc script works more smoothly: http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/ It uses Perl and offers some additional functionality vis-a-vis Edgeos' Python-based script.
