Hi,

I can't find any facility to control the size/content of 
nessusd.messages. I just ran a scan on a /24 subnet and was seeing log 
file growth of 1 meg per second. The entire scan lasted 570 seconds, so 
about 600 megs of logs for one subnet. Also, much of the log file 
contained entries like this

  [Tue May 27 14:34:19 2008][5455] user operator : Not launching 
debian_DSA-829.nasl against 129.100.86.73 because the key 
Host/Debian/dpkg-l is missing (this is not an error)

which seems a little too verbose since these messages are insignificant.

I have log_whole_attack and log_plugins_name_at_load set to 'no'.

Can I control these settings somewhere? It would be nice to avoid having 
to set logfile = /dev/null.
