If you are on Linux, you can always do an ls -lt | more while in the /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins directory and look at the time on the last file. This should give you some indication of when the last update was. You could also do a plugins dump with the nessus tool and count the number of plugins and see if it was more than the last time you updated: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./nessus -p 127.0.0.1 1241 <user> <pass> | wc -l 20690 Ron Gula Tenable Network Security _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
