losing configuration (listening interface) when updating Nessus3

[Martin Mačok <martin.macok@underground.cz>]

I need to configure Nessus to listen only on loopback interface and
the only way (afaik) to do it is editing nessusd startup script. Last
time I upgraded from Nessus-3.0.2 to Nessus-3.0.4 I overlooked that
the script was replaced and my Nessus server went accessible from the
outside.

I would like to be able to set listening interface and be sure that
when Nessus is upgraded it keeps this configuration. Would it be
possible to do at least one of the following?

1) adding "noreplace" keyword to startup script in %files section in
   the SPEC file

2) rewriting startup script so it reads adititional nessusd startup
   params from /etc/sysconfig/nessus (if it exists)

3) adding nessusd.conf option that sets interface nessusd will listen
   on

Thank you very much
