I found out that my nessus wx windows GUI that points to

That family only contains plugins that use Hydra; that you don't see it
suggests there's a problem on the nessusd side loading those plugins.

into /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins. Therefore, I downloaded and
installed hydra 5.3. However I still cannot get the plugins to
"load". I found mention of a PATH in regards to nessusd
(http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2004-March/msg00154.html)
but i do not understand.
For the sake of discussion, suppose you installed Hydra under
/usr/local/hydra. You need to ensure that appears in the PATH
environment variable when nessusd is started. For example, if you start
nessusd from the commandline, you could do:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/hydra /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -D
assuming you use sh / ksh / bash as your shell.
If you start nessusd through a startup script, edit that and tweak the
PATH variable as appropriate.
